An exception report is a structured summary of all unresolved or flagged reconciliation items — including their type, amount, status, and investigation notes.
An exception report is a documented output of the reconciliation review process that lists all items that could not be automatically matched or that were flagged for review. It typically includes each exception's type, the difference amount, the nearest candidate considered, the reviewer note, the resolution status, and the reviewer decision. Exception reports are a core component of audit-ready reconciliation evidence.
Exception reports give finance managers and auditors visibility into what required review and how it was handled. Without a structured exception report, the completeness of the reconciliation review cannot be verified — and teams are left relying on informal communications or version-tracked spreadsheets.
A period-end exception report shows 42 items: 28 resolved as timing differences, 10 resolved with amount adjustment notes, 3 escalated for further investigation, and 1 written off with approval. The report includes reviewer notes for each item and timestamps for each decision.
