Operating Model
What changes operationally
- Client account reconciliation runs continuously rather than monthly, so the COFA sees the position between reporting dates.
- Every residual balance and posting error carries its investigation and sign-off, so the file is inspection ready as it stands.
- Accountant's report evidence and internal reporting draw from the same sealed record, so figures do not need reworking.
