THE DIFFERENCE · PROTECTING THE NUMBERS

Does your system tell you when a closed month has been changed?

Once you have your financial statements for a month, they should stay the same. Our ledger review flags any change to a period you have already received, along with a tested set of warning signs.

SIDE BY SIDE

What your software does, and what we add

You keep the accounting software you use today. The platform works from its standard reports.

TYPICAL ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE

  • Many now flag unusual transactions and suggest categories
  • No check that a period you already received was changed afterward

THE BRADLEY & COMPANY PLATFORM

  • Flags any change to a period that has already been delivered to you
  • A first-pass review for duplicate payments, round-dollar entries, holiday and weekend postings, and amounts far from the usual
  • New payees, and payees with an employee’s name
  • Suspense balances, aged undeposited funds, and manual entries to cash, revenue, or payroll
  • Every check tested against planted anomalies to prove it catches them
HOW IT WORKS
1

When a month is delivered, its balances are recorded.

2

Each review compares the ledger to those recorded balances and runs the full set of checks on new activity.

3

Flags come to you with the entry, the date it was posted, and the amount.

WHY IT MATTERS
Catch after-the-fact changes to books you already received.

A change to a closed month changes the numbers you already gave your bank and your tax preparer. You should know before they do.
