The challenge
- The opening balance is not reliable.
- Books, tax returns and myDATA do not fully reconcile.
- Management reporting cannot start from a clean base.
An SME is changing accountant with old balances, unreconciled bank accounts, myDATA discrepancies and partner/director accounts without clear supporting documentation.
The new accounting cycle starts with supported opening balances, a clear open-items register and a defined remediation plan.
