Editing System Attributes

System Attributes are the standard attributes included with Account Reconciliation:

Common processes include the balance sheet reconciliation processes, the consolidation system reconciliation process, and the local GAAP reconciliation process.

Risk Rating

Account Types

• The nature of the account (for example, asset, liability, or equity)

  To achieve the maximum benefit, configure account types to match the structure that is used for financial reporting.
