Professional Guide

This reconciliation workbook ingests bank statements and the general ledger to propose matches using deterministic rules and fuzzy matching for difficult cases. Implement exact matching via amount-date equality, and fuzzy description matching using normalized text and partial comparisons or a simple VBA Levenshtein function for scoring. Present a reconciliation dashboard with matched, unmatched, and probable matches for review, and allow posting of suggested adjusting entries. Include tolerance rules for foreign exchange differences and deposit-in-transit handling. Keep audit trails and user approvals for any auto-posted entries.
