Know what can move.
Each legal entity owns periods with Open, Closing, and Locked states. Close work inherits that context.
Month-end close control
Close with evidence. Not updates.
Finance ERP moves the period from sequenced work through reconciled balances and approved adjustments. Every decision keeps its entity, period, account, journal, owner, and due date.

The close is a chain of evidence.
A checklist alone cannot explain a balance. Finance ERP keeps work, reconciliation, journals, and adjustments joined to the same controlled period.
Explain every difference.
Account reconciliations retain owner, due date, review state, and difference against the controlled account.
Post the approved reason.
An adjustment remains linked to the reconciliation and balanced journal that substantiate it.
Plan. Reconcile. Adjust. Lock.
The operating sequence makes dependencies visible before a controller commits the period.
Plan
Sequence close tasks by entity and period with named owners and dates.
Reconcile
Compare account support and ledger balances; retain the difference.
Adjust
Link proposed corrections to their reconciliation and journal evidence.
Lock
Complete the trail before the governed period moves beyond close.
