Fund Administration Cash Reconciliation
Reconcile a fund's bank or custodian statement to the general ledger, match every transaction to its booked entry and expected cash event, and flag every break with its NAV impact.
What it extracts
13 extraction fields
- Reconciliation Summary
- A one-look roll-up of the fund, account, currencies, period, the two closing balances, net reconciling items, residual variance, and status so a reviewer can orient before reading the detail.
- Account and Period Information
- The account, its purpose and currency, the fund base currency, and the opening and closing balances that bracket the period, with the account number masked to the last four characters.
- Fund Activity Capture
- The expected cash events read from capital call, distribution, trade, and fee notices, classified and signed, that the bank statement and ledger are matched against - the activity-capture stage folded in as an input.
- Bank Statement Transactions
- Every line on the bank or custodian statement, normalized across formats and signed, forming the external record for the reconciliation.
- General Ledger Cash Entries
- Every cash-account entry the administrator booked in the general ledger for the account and period, forming the book record matched to the bank.
- Transaction Matching
- The core match of each bank line to its ledger entry and expected event, supporting one-to-one and one-to-many sets, with date and amount variance, tolerance, and a match status for every item.
- Reconciling Items
- The legitimate timing and unbooked items that bridge book to bank - deposits in transit, outstanding disbursements, unbooked fees and interest, FX and timing differences - each aged and flagged as self-reversing or needing a booking.
- Multi-Currency and FX Reconciliation
- The currency and FX assessment where the account currency differs from the fund base currency, isolating rate and value-date mismatches between book and bank and the resulting realized and translation differences.
- Book-to-Bank Reconciliation
- The formal footing: book balance plus receipts in transit and unbooked income, less outstanding disbursements and unbooked fees, adjusted for FX, tied to the adjusted bank balance, with a math check that names the driver when it does not foot.
- Net Book-to-Bank Variance
- The single signed residual variance in account currency after all legitimate reconciling items - zero when the account fully reconciles, and the unexplained break to clear when it is not.
- Exceptions and Unmatched Items
- The ranked list of true breaks - unmatched bank or ledger items, expected events missing from the bank, mismatches, duplicates, wrong-account postings - each with severity, aging, root cause, and a recommended action.
- NAV Impact Assessment
- How unreconciled cash and required corrections affect the period net asset value, including cutoff and accrual issues, materiality versus threshold, and whether the reconciliation supports striking NAV or must be held.
- Reconciliation Controls and Sign-Off
- The control posture - preparer and independent-reviewer model, materiality and aging thresholds, cutoff date, documentation completeness, carried-forward open items - and a ready-to-sign or hold recommendation.
Where it fits
Fund accounting and cash reconciliation
Upstream
Fund activity capture - capital call, distribution, trade, and fee notices arrive from each GP or manager and tell the administrator what cash should move; the fund's bank or custodian statement and the general ledger cash entries the administrator has booked are pulled for the period
This step
Bank-to-book cash reconciliation and exception clearing
Downstream
- General-ledger correction and journal posting
- NAV strike and investor reporting
- Independent reviewer sign-off and audit support
What it needs
Documents
- Bank or custodian statement for the account and period
- General-ledger cash detail for the account
- Capital call, distribution, and redemption notices
- Trade or investment settlement confirmations
- Fee and partnership-expense notices
- Fund-specific instruction sheet and fund/entity reference file
Systems
- Bank and custodian portals
- Fund accounting general ledger
- SharePoint
- Google Drive
Prerequisites
- The bank or custodian statement bracketing the period with opening and closing balances
- The general-ledger cash entries booked for the same account and period
- The activity notices that define the cash events expected to hit the account
- The reconciliation tolerance, materiality threshold, and cutoff date the team uses
What it produces
A per-account, per-period cash reconciliation showing matched transactions, legitimate reconciling items, a footed book-to-bank build-up, the residual variance, a ranked list of exceptions and unmatched items, and the NAV impact and sign-off readiness
Delivered to
- Fund accounting system
- Reconciliation and month-end close file
- NAV package and audit support
Review model
A fund accountant prepares the reconciliation and an independent reviewer approves it; open reconciling items are cleared and true breaks are investigated before the period NAV is struck.
Who uses it
Volume fit
Works best for
administrators reconciling many fund bank and custody accounts across periods, especially where notice formats and statement formats vary by GP and bank
Too small for
a single-account fund with a handful of transactions a period, where a manual tie-out is faster than setup
