Reporting Foundations

Recurring reports are difficult to trust when nobody can quickly explain where the figures came from or which checks were applied.

Here you can follow source files into prepared tables and reporting outputs, then see the checks, exceptions and handover notes that make the route easier to review.

How the work is checked

From source files to a reviewable output.

The source register, preparation logic, validation results and final output are shown together, so the route can be followed without relying on the finished report alone.

SQL-backed Reporting Foundation

What is difficult now
Recurring reports become hard to trust when source ownership, join rules and validation failures are separated from the downstream pack they affect.
What the work helps decide
Which source files and rows are ready for the next refresh, which validation failures need attention and which downstream output is affected?
  • SQL
  • Source-to-report
  • Report view

Reconciliation Exception Mart

What is difficult now
A recurring report cannot be signed off when source extracts disagree and the match key, tolerance rule or exception owner is unclear.
What the work helps decide
Which ledger and operations records disagree, why do they disagree and which owner must resolve them before reconciliation sign-off?

How this could help

The right starting point depends on the current report.

A first review confirms whether the priority is source mapping, SQL preparation, validation or handover documentation.

Relevant services

A source map, preparation logic, validation results, reporting outputs and handover notes where needed.
