MONTH-END REPORTING · Workflow idea

Send the monthly handoff only after the numbers and audience check out.

For a finance owner preparing a month-end handoff, compile the previous month’s completed sales across approved locations, prepare a CSV summary, and review its proposed delivery to managers or other authorized recipients. A file may contain more detail than its audience needs, and an unfinished month-end adjustment can change the totals. Reconcile source records, confirm the period and external-sharing permissions, protect the file from unintended access, and require an authorized person to approve the precise attachment and message before delivery.

  4. Verify authority to share the report

    Check recipient identity, disclosure permissions, and secure delivery method.

  5. Approve the final attachment and message

    Require finance to sign off on figures, recipients, and delivery before release.

The handoff

A reconciled monthly CSV and a delivery draft awaiting finance approval.

Keep in mind

A CSV may be forwarded or interpreted without its context. Reconcile the prior month, remove unnecessary detail, verify the recipient and permitted purpose, and obtain explicit approval before sending.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document month-end data and adjustment rules

Set period boundaries and explain how sales and refunds are included.

Validate file contents and reconciliation

Protect report storage and delivery

Restrict access and use an approved destination with a defined retention period.

Make finance approval a required release step

Pause delivery until a responsible owner approves the exact file and audience.
