Month-end close timetable and reconciliation set

A day-by-day timetable covering the five working days around close, with the reconciliation set that has to be complete before the ledger is locked.

The template pairs each task with an owner, a reviewer and a due day. It is built to be adapted: Societies running a fifteen-day close use the same structure with wider spacing rather than a different document.

Available in Arabic alongside English, French and Spanish.

What it is for

Turn month-end from an open-ended exercise into a dated sequence with named owners.

Who it is for

Finance managers running a monthly close in a National Society or a large branch.

How to use it

Set day zero to your own reporting deadline and work backwards. Assign every line to a named person, not a team.
