Start from the connected accounting source
Confirm that the trial balance is balanced, reconciliations are complete and material year-end adjustments are posted in Accounting Workspace before treating the accounts as final.
Confirm framework and period
Balansix supports configured UK GAAP workflows including FRS 105 and FRS 102 Section 1A. Confirm the entity type, accounting period and applicable framework because disclosure and presentation rules can change by period.
Mapping
Review how nominal balances map into statutory lines. Correct the accounting source where the underlying balance is wrong; use mapping to present a correct balance, not to conceal misposting.
Disclosures and narrative
Review the required notes, accounting policies and editable narrative for the selected framework/entity. Figures should remain connected to the accounting record while controlled text modules can be edited for the actual client facts.
Diagnostics and review
Resolve arithmetic, mapping and required-output diagnostics before finalisation. Review the rendered accounts as a human reader would, including page breaks, comparative alignment and notes.
Finalisation and output
Finalisation is a control point. After finalisation, setup/mapping/disclosure areas should be read-only unless the accounts are deliberately reopened through an authorised correction process. Supported output can include professional PDF and digital/iXBRL workflows.
