Month-End Close Checklist: From Bank Reconciliations to Owner Sign-Off

Use this worksheet alongside the guide. The figures and schedules are educational illustrations, not individualized tax advice or a recommendation for your circumstances.

Work through your records

Read the explanation in the guide before filling in the schedule. Keep the illustrated values separate from your actual records. For each row, identify the supporting document, applicable period, unresolved assumption, and person responsible. Do not treat example percentages or classifications as established facts for your situation.
