When external or internal auditors ask for reconciliation packs, they are testing whether a competent outsider can reconstruct the close. A screenshot without source files, timestamps, or who approved an exception fails that test.
Strong packs include the source extract, the matching run log, open-item listing with ages, adjustment journal with dual control, and a short narrative for material breaks. Automation helps only if it retains that trail.
Before your next review cycle, pick one high-volume ledger and assemble the pack as if you were the auditor. Whatever you cannot reconstruct in under an hour is your next control project.
