Finance Journal Entries

Purpose

Construct a GAAP- or IFRS-compliant journal entry from a transaction or event. The deliverable is a posting-ready entry — full account coding, balanced amounts, reversal logic, and a supporting memo that an auditor can re-perform without follow-up questions.

Scope Constraints

• Produces the journal entry, supporting memo, and pre-post review notes; does not actually post to the GL.
• Covers single-event JE construction; does not orchestrate the close cycle (use finance-close-checklist) or reconcile balances (use finance-reconciliation).
• Does not opine on whether the transaction should occur — the input is a transaction or event whose accounting treatment is being captured.
