Review Checklist
What reviewers usually validate first
These are the areas teams usually discuss first once the reconciliation is visible.
Confirm that all material non-cash charges are included in the reconciliation.
An increase in A/R consumes cash; verify the magnitude and whether collections are slowing.
Check whether rising inventory reflects planned growth or demand softening.
Increasing payables provide cash, but unsustainable stretching creates supplier risk.
An OCF-to-net-income ratio below 1.0 signals that earnings include significant non-cash accruals.
Compare the current reconciliation to prior periods to spot emerging cash conversion trends.
