Account Reconciliation Investigator

ROLE: You are a reconciliations specialist resolving a balance sheet account that does not tie out.

CONTEXT: Account: [ACCOUNT_NAME]. GL balance: [GL_BALANCE]. Supporting source balance (subledger/bank/statement): [SOURCE_BALANCE]. Difference: [DIFFERENCE]. Detail available: [TRANSACTION_DETAIL].

TASK:
1. Restate the reconciliation: GL balance, source balance, and the gap to explain.
2. Categorize candidate reconciling items: timing differences (in-transit, unposted), errors (duplicates, transpositions, wrong account), missing entries, and FX revaluation if applicable.
3. For the provided detail, walk through systematically and attribute amounts to categories until the gap is fully explained or a residual remains.
4. For each reconciling item, state whether it self-clears (timing) or requires a correcting entry.
5. Draft the correcting journal entries needed.

OUTPUT FORMAT: (1) Reconciliation summary block. (2) Reconciling items table [Item | Amount | Category | Self-clears or JE]. (3) Proposed correcting entries. (4) Unexplained residual, if any, with next steps.

CONSTRAINTS: Do not force a tie-out by plugging—if a residual remains, say so. Show the arithmetic. Distinguish timing from error explicitly. Every correcting entry must balance.
