Account review methods

Use the right proof for each account.

Accountable does not force every account into a generic reconciliation. Each account is assigned the review method, required reports, evidence, tests, findings, and conclusion appropriate to it.

Finding

The payroll register supports the liability entry. It does not prove where or when cash cleared.

Limitation remains visible

Next action

Search cash-side references and request payment support from the contributor closest to payroll.

Open support request

Required support

The method declares the reports and evidence expected for the account.

Review tests

Automated analysis and human review remain distinct.

Visible gaps

Missing, unsupported, stale, and blocked states are never converted to zero.

Conclusion and sign-off

The reviewer is attributed and controller authority remains explicit.

Review the account the way the accounting requires.
