Accounting systems & data handoffs

Reporting & systems · Free reading guide

The difficult part of a system change is often the handoff between tools. A migration plan should make identifiers, permissions, source records, and review responsibilities explicit.

Build your understanding

• Inventory the data that needs to move and the data that should stay restricted.
• Compare sample records and control totals before accepting an import.
• Document who signs off on the migration and retains the original evidence.

A practical starting exercise

Create a one-page map of this workflow using fictional examples. List the source information, the person who prepares it, the reviewer, and the question each step should answer. Mark any point where responsibility or evidence is unclear.

Bring those open questions to your supervisor or adviser. The exercise is intended to organize a conversation; it is not permission to change account treatment, move money, or replace an established control.
