Continuous close · controller workflow

Reconciliation Exception Journey

Shows how a reconciliation break moves through event detection, close impact, controller review, journal recommendation, evidence, replay, and close-readiness recalculation.

Demo spine

Signal → context → agent → policy → evidence → decision → action → replay

Signal

Recon break

Intercompany or bank reconciliation variance is detected before period end.

Context

Close digital twin

Agent reads entity, account, owner, aging, materiality, and open task status.

Policy

Materiality + SoD

Close policy determines whether journal recommendation needs controller approval.

Agent

Recon + journal agents

Agents classify root cause and draft correction or accrual journal.

Decision

Certify or block

Controller sees whether the books can be certified and what must be fixed.

Replay

Financial reality trace

Close readiness can be replayed to the event and evidence that caused the gap.

Evidence contract
