A routine built around your work
Route the review
Keep preparation, approval and posting within their controlled workflows.
Explain the outcome
Use retained evidence in reports and inspect differences instead of creating a spreadsheet balancing plug.
Put it into context
Illustrative workflow, not customer data.
A receipt supports a $12,000 cash debit and receivable credit. The preparer submits a balanced journal; the authorized reviewer satisfies policy before posting and reporting rely on it.
AI explanations and forecasts require review. Authorized people and deterministic services retain approval, calculation, posting and close authority.

Questions for finance teams
Does completing a task approve its accounting work?
No. Task progress and financial authority are separate. The journal, reconciliation or close workflow performs its own checks.
Can planning replace posted actuals?
No. Plans are retained assumptions; posted ledger evidence is a separate source for accounting reports.
Availability depends on plan, permissions and configured data. OwnCents does not provide professional accounting, tax, legal or investment advice.
