Validation & Quality Checks, explained simply

Validation tests the structured file for technical errors, calculation inconsistencies, missing mandatory data and obvious mismatches against the source accounts.

Keyword-specific guidance

Validation & Quality Checks guidance

What validation catches

Validation can flag calculation mismatches, missing facts, duplicate tags, context errors, sign issues and file-format problems.

What validation cannot replace

Automated validation does not replace professional judgement. A file can pass technical checks while still using a poor mapping choice.

Why checks should happen early

Early validation gives the team time to resolve errors before filing deadlines become compressed.

Common questions
