Editing System Attributes

System Attributes are the standard attributes included with Account Reconciliation:

Process

Associated with profiles and reconciliations and enable classification of profiles and reconciliations according to the purpose for which reconciliations are performed. Common processes include the balance sheet reconciliation processes, the consolidation system reconciliation process, and the local GAAP reconciliation process.

Risk Rating

Associated with profiles and reconciliations and enable classification of profiles and reconciliations according to risk level. Risk ratings can be used to select accounts for reporting or to facilitate assignment of preparers, frequencies, or other attributes.

Account Types

Associated with profiles and reconciliations, account types enable classification of profiles, reconciliations, and adjustments according to a hierarchical structure that defines:

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

  • Subclassifications (for example, current assets and noncurrent assets)

  • Specific account types (for example, cash)

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