The downloadable Unit Monthly Reconciliation Checklist has been updated to include additional guidance on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in financial reconciliation. When using artificial intelligence tools with OSU data, users must only use tools approved by the Office of Technology and Digital Innovation (OTDI). See the Approved AI Tools page for more information. In addition, users must exercise appropriate caution and independently verify all outputs, including confirming that reconciled amounts agree to the Trial Balance within Workday.
As a reminder, this document is intended to serve as a guide to assist units in developing processes that support an effective internal control environment. While use of the checklist is not required, units that choose not to implement these procedures must establish and document alternative procedures that appropriately identify and mitigate financial risk within the college or unit and ensure compliance with the Fiscal Stewardship Policy.
Please note: The checklist is routinely updated to reflect changes in business processes and reporting enhancements. To ensure you are using the most current version, regularly check the Controller’s Office website. If you have previously downloaded the checklist and do not see the latest updates, you may need to clear your browser cache before reopening the document.
