Month-end close process is slow and painful because errors made during the month go unnoticed until close, requiring retroactive auditing instead of continuous reconciliation.

Workarounds Described

• uses spreadsheets to track and audit errors
• manually reviews trial balance mid-month
• relies on month-end discovery of coding mistakes

Implied Software Gaps

• Continuous close platform with real-time error detection and reconciliation
• Automated coding compliance checks during AP entry
• Intercompany transaction matching with automatic alerts
