Set Frequency for Sales Audit Cycles

Manual sales auditing is often infrequent, creating long periods where unnoticed anomalies in sales data accumulate over time. Financial discrepancies, when identified, are often daunting and discovering close to reconciliation deadlines make them an auditing nightmare.

By reconciling sales data daily, finance teams can spot systemic issues or process failures early on and address them promptly to prevent errors from accumulating and causing larger issues down the line.

While the benefits of daily sales reconciliation are clear, it is essential to consider the size of business and available resources when choosing an ideal audit interval. With the flexibility to set custom sales audit cycles, whether daily for proactive monitoring or monthly, retailers can choose the frequency that best aligns with their auditing needs.

Compares Data and Identifies Gaps

Retailers push sales and return data to the bookkeeping system by integrating it with their sales capturing systems. Yet, they often run into unfamiliar bugs and integration issues, which can inadvertently result in data loss. This, in turn, gives rise to gaps in records within the bookkeeping system.

To ensure data integrity, OReSA automatically compares sales totals of sales capturing systems with the bookkeeping system. In case any inconsistencies are found, the sales audit dashboard provides a gap analysis report that highlights the monetary gaps in both systems.

Upon finding a monetary gap, an email notification is sent to the finance team so that they are promptly notified about inconsistencies and take immediate action for further investigation.

Find Missing Items and Take Corrective Actions

The gap analysis report also provides a breakdown of the specific records that are available in the sales capturing system but are missing in the bookkeeping system, and vice versa.

By analyzing missing transactions, finance teams can coordinate with the IT operations team to rectify the sales data discrepancies, fix system integration errors, modify workflows, or other measures to ensure data accuracy and consistency. Quickly rectifying data inconsistencies, gives retailers firm control and confidence over data integrity.

Audit Month-End Sales

Regular reconciliation distributes an otherwise high pressure workload into fast and easy audits rather than forcing a large manual audit at the end of a month. By automatically reconciling sales daily and validating sales data flowing to bookkeeping systems, finance teams are freed from time-consuming manual auditing that is traditionally associated with month-end financials.
