Operating checklist: Quarterly Expense Review Checklist

This checklist is for owners reviewing spending several times a year. Its narrow purpose is to catch record problems before year-end; it is not a generic month-end list.

Check whether every intake source was processed. Confirm that source coverage is confirmed. If you find reviewing totals without documents, leave the record in review and assign a next action.
Confirm that unusual changes are explained. If you find ignoring inactive mailbox connections, leave the record in review and assign a next action.

Original document	It remains the reference for extracted and corrected fields.

Exception note	It explains why a field or source could not be confirmed.
