Information the receiver needs
Confirm the exact reporting period

Review missing, duplicate, and unreadable documents
Provide enough source context to demonstrate that exceptions are documented. Flag mixing years in one package as an exception rather than asking the receiver to discover it.
Separate open questions from completed records
Provide enough source context to demonstrate that files and CSV rows can be matched. Flag deleting source records immediately after download as an exception rather than asking the receiver to discover it.
Test the exported files in a separate location
Provide enough source context to demonstrate that period boundaries are correct. Flag assuming an export is valid without opening it as an exception rather than asking the receiver to discover it.
