FINANCE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Help the right person review authorized matter calendars, recorded work, billing status, and possible unbilled-time gaps before anything consequential happens.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a private reconciliation list for an attorney or finance owner to check against matter records. Time records can expose privileged details, and a flagged gap does not prove billable work was omitted. Restrict matter data, verify dates and entries in the original system, follow engagement terms and billing rules, and require the responsible attorney and finance owner to approve any adjustment or client communication. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
