Traceable to reviewed entries

Close remains subject to review

Do the account balances agree before we review statements?

Accounting integrity erodes when classification, approvals, posting, reports, reconciliation, and close evidence are disconnected or editable after the fact.

How the work progresses

Who uses it

Accounting preparers, finance reviewers and controllers who need to trace a balance to its evidence.

  1. Confirm the Legal Entity and period for the balance read.
  2. Inspect opening balances, posted movement and closing debit/credit balances.
  3. Review agreement and investigate classifications or missing evidence before relying on a statement.

A concrete example

Illustrative, not customer data.

Do the account balances agree before we review statements?

Equal debit and credit totals are a necessary check, but do not prove every account classification or business judgment is correct.

What still needs judgment

Correct setup and qualified review remain the customer's responsibility. OwnCents is not an accountant, auditor, tax adviser, or statutory filing service.

AI may suggest or explain accounting work, but cannot approve, post, close, alter posted entries, override classifications, or create balancing plugs.

Available workflows depend on your plan, permission scope, configuration and supported data. Compare plans before choosing.

Before you use trial balance

Can I explore this before connecting company data?
The public demo is a fixed, read-only sample company. It illustrates supported product areas without creating an account or accessing customer data; it is not proof that every configured workflow is available in the tour.
What should I verify before relying on an output?
Confirm scope, source coverage and timing. For this capability, review opening balances and posted debit/credit movements for the selected entity and period. An operating status or AI explanation does not replace the required review of accounting evidence.
Does an explanation automatically authorize a financial action?
No. AI may suggest or explain accounting work, but cannot approve, post, close, alter posted entries, override classifications, or create balancing plugs.
