A stronger implementation is more than system access. It requires clean structure, reliable workflows, reconciled data, and reporting that supports review.

01

Account & Financial Structure

  • GL account setup supports efficient system use and reporting
  • Consistent chart of accounts applied enterprise-wide
  • Separate professional, personal, and household P&L accounts
02

Data Integrity & Workflows

  • No duplicate securities or vendors
  • Preparer and reviewer controls for quality assurance
  • Structured workflows for bill payment approvals
  • FX investments produce accurate transactions without manual entries
03

Reconciliation & Review

  • Partnership review reporting ready in batches
  • Brokerage and cash accounts reconciled inside the system
  • Side-pocket values align with investor values
  • Master-feeder values are transparent through the entity structure
04

Alternative Investment Data & Performance

  • Contributions, distributions, and unfunded commitments agree to manager statements
  • Security basis ties to tax source documents
  • Performance agrees to statements or performance software
05

Investor Reporting & Compliance

  • Investor tax, book, and disparity values agree to source documents
  • Investor statements are ready in batches with net worth and allocation reporting
  • Fee structures are configured and tracked accurately
  • Investor portal setup is verified for accuracy

Use these checks to identify where the system is supporting your accounting process and where manual work, reconciliation gaps, or reporting limitations may still exist.
