Stage 04 of 5 — Notes & Policies

Schedules, notes and policies derive from the grouping

The approved grouping drives the automation: capital movements, the fixed asset register, ageing and the other registers derive from the Trial Balance, and the engine drafts the notes and accounting policies they support. The preparer corrects and concludes instead of typing schedules.

Why this stage exists

Automation removes the data entry, not the accountability. Every derived figure carries provenance, ties to the statements, and waits for the judgments only the firm can make.

The stage in three parts

What goes in, who acts, what comes out.
