How It Works

How the Intercompany Reconciliation Process Works

The workflow is built around proving both sides of each related-entity position, isolating exceptions and creating a traceable close-ready reconciliation output.

Collect Ledgers

Receive the agreed entity ledgers, subledgers, schedules and period details.

2

Map Counterparties

Identify corresponding intercompany accounts, entity pairs, currencies and references.

3

Normalize Data

Structure dates, references, amounts and descriptions so both sides can be compared consistently.

4

Match & Investigate

Match clear items and classify timing, FX, cut-off, coding and one-sided differences.

5

Build the Bridge

Document open items, reconciliation movements and proposed follow-up or adjustment requirements.

6

Review & Deliver

Complete a quality review and provide the agreed reconciliation pack for finance-team action.

What We Reconcile

Common Intercompany Accounts and Transaction Types

Exception Analysis

Why Intercompany Balances Do Not Match

A difference is not a single problem category. The reconciliation becomes useful when each variance is traced to a reason and assigned a clear next action.

Turn the Difference Into an Exception Map

Rather than forcing two totals to agree, Rudrriv can work through the underlying transactions, counterparties and periods so matched items are separated from genuine exceptions.

Typical output: a traceable list showing what matched, what remains open, why it remains open and what finance teams need to review next.

Timing Difference

The same transaction is recorded in different accounting periods.

One-Sided Posting

One entity recorded the transaction while the counterparty did not.

FX / Rate Difference

Both sides exist, but conversion or revaluation creates a variance.

Account Mapping

Related entries are posted to different intercompany or clearing accounts.

Reference Mismatch

Descriptions, dates or document references do not align cleanly for matching.

Settlement / Netting

Payments or offsets are grouped differently across the two entity records.

Detailed Deliverables

What You Receive From the Reconciliation

Deliverables are tailored to the agreed scope, with emphasis on traceability, reviewer clarity and practical follow-up rather than a single unexplained balancing number.

Reconciliation Pack

Counterparty summaryEntity-pair and account-level balances for the agreed period.

Open-item / exception listUnmatched items grouped by reason and required follow-up.
Closing balance bridgeClear movement from reported balances to the reconciled position.
Review notesAssumptions, data limitations and items requiring finance-team confirmation.
Adjustment supportProposed correction requirements or journal-entry support when included in scope.

Traceable Matching

Matched and unmatched items remain visible so reviewers can follow the reconciliation logic.

Reviewable Assumptions

Important assumptions, cut-offs and treatment questions are called out instead of silently absorbed.

Exception Ownership

Open differences can be grouped into practical follow-up categories for the responsible finance team.

Close-Ready Documentation

The final file structure is designed to support internal review, close documentation and downstream consolidation work.

Period-End Methodology

How Intercompany Reconciliation Fits Into the Financial Close

The reconciliation sits between ledger extraction and downstream consolidation or reporting. Each stage should produce evidence that the next reviewer can understand.

Common Use Cases

When Businesses Typically Need Intercompany Reconciliation Support

Period end

Month-End Close Mismatch

Two related entities report different closing balances and the finance team needs a traceable explanation before close review.

Growth

New Entity Added to the Group

Intercompany accounts have grown across entities and a consistent counterparty reconciliation structure is needed.

Complexity

Multi-Currency Counterparties

Both sides contain the underlying transaction, but exchange-rate and revaluation effects make the reported balances difficult to compare.

Cleanup

Old Unresolved Items

Prior-period balances contain open items that need to be traced, categorized and either supported or escalated for accounting review.

Scope Boundaries

What Intercompany Reconciliation Does — and Does Not — Cover by Default

Clear boundaries protect the quality of the reconciliation. Broader accounting, consolidation, tax or system work can be separately scoped, but should not be implied by a reconciliation-only engagement.

Not a Financial Audit

The service organizes and reconciles supplied records; it does not issue an audit opinion or assurance conclusion.

Not Transfer-Pricing Advice

Tax, legal and transfer-pricing policy or documentation require appropriately scoped specialist advice.

No Automatic Posting by Default

Proposed adjustments can be documented, but entries are not posted without explicit authorization and scope.

Consolidation Is Separate

Reconciled balances can support elimination and consolidation, but full consolidation is a separate service unless agreed.

Illustrative Examples

Three Typical Intercompany Reconciliation Scenarios

These are educational examples only, not Rudrriv client case studies or claimed customer results.

Timing

Management Fee Recorded One Period Late

Entity A records the recharge in May while Entity B records the payable in June.

Finding
Same economic event, different accounting period.
Output
Timing exception with supporting reference and bridge treatment for review.
One-sided

Intercompany Loan Movement Missing on One Ledger

One entity records the drawdown while the counterparty ledger does not contain the matching entry.

Finding
Unmatched principal movement requiring counterparty confirmation.
Output
Open-item flag with proposed follow-up or correction requirement.
FX

Same Invoice, Different Functional-Currency Value

Both entities recorded the invoice, but different rates or revaluation timing create a closing variance.

Finding
Transaction exists on both sides; variance relates to currency treatment.
Output
FX exception separated from missing-item reconciliation differences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Intercompany Reconciliation FAQs

Answers to common questions about scope, inputs, pricing, delivery, adjustments and recurring support.

What is intercompany reconciliation?

Intercompany reconciliation compares transactions and balances recorded between related entities so the corresponding receivable, payable, loan, recharge or other intercompany positions can be matched, explained and prepared for period-end close or consolidation.

What is included in Rudrriv's intercompany reconciliation service?

The agreed scope can include counterparty mapping, ledger comparison, transaction matching, exception classification, timing and foreign-exchange difference review, open-item schedules, a closing balance bridge and proposed adjustment support for your finance team's review.

What information do you need to start?

We normally need the relevant general-ledger or subledger extracts for each entity, intercompany account mappings, period dates, currency information, supporting invoices or schedules where available, and details of known differences or prior unresolved items.

How much does intercompany reconciliation cost?

A focused pairwise balance check starts at $30 USD. Broader multi-entity, multi-account or recurring close support is quoted after the transaction volume, entity count, currencies, data quality and required deliverables are reviewed.

How long does the service take?

The standard delivery window is 5–7 working days after the required files and scope are confirmed. Large multi-entity reconciliations or periods with extensive exceptions may require a custom timeline.

Can you reconcile balances across multiple entities and currencies?

Yes. Multi-entity and multi-currency requirements can be scoped. The work can identify timing, exchange-rate, cut-off, one-sided posting and mapping differences, with the final treatment remaining subject to your accounting policies and approval process.

Will Rudrriv post journal entries into our accounting system?

Not by default. The service can prepare proposed adjusting entries or clearly documented correction requirements, but posting into your accounting system is only performed when explicitly included in the agreed scope and authorized by you.

Is this the same as financial consolidation or transfer-pricing advice?

No. Intercompany reconciliation helps establish and explain matching balances. Consolidation, statutory reporting, tax, transfer-pricing documentation and legal or regulatory advice are separate activities unless specifically included in a broader approved engagement.

Can this be an ongoing monthly or quarterly service?

Yes. Recurring support can be scoped for monthly or quarterly close cycles, including standardized counterparty schedules, exception tracking, review packs and follow-up on unresolved differences.

What will I receive at the end of the engagement?

Depending on the plan, you can receive a reconciliation workbook or schedule, matched and unmatched item listing, exception summary, closing balance bridge, supporting notes and proposed adjustment or follow-up actions for your finance team's review.

Can you work with exported data instead of direct system access?

Yes. A reconciliation can often be completed from suitable ledger, subledger and supporting-report exports. The exact files required depend on how your intercompany accounts are structured and how much transaction detail is available.

How do I get started?

Choose the focused starting plan or submit the enquiry form with your entity count, period, currencies, approximate transaction volume and the accounts that need to be reconciled. Rudrriv will review the requirement and confirm the appropriate scope.
