What I have found is that all the above can be implemented and work well but without any reconciliations, we don't get a clear picture of what is working and where improvements can be made. Recons tell us more about whether the policies in place are being adhered to and whether or not they are effective. In fact, you can identify the culture of expenditure in a business by the expense reconciliation.
