Month-End Close Checklist
The monthly close, tracked to a tie-out and held for sign-off. The month-end close: tasks grouped by area with owners, a progress meter, and a debit and credit tie-out that reaches in balance, with one blocked task and the finished package held for a person.
Try it: check tasks done and watch the progress meter and the debit/credit tie-out reach in balance. One task stays held for a person, and the finished close package is held for sign-off, never released.
Synthetic sample data. The tie-out is derived from the checklist, not asserted.
