Refinements to accounting rule reporting

Posted on: 04-02-2024 | Category: New feature | accounting rules FRC

We've recently upgraded the rules engine that we use for SureFile's Accounting Rules which provides for more granular reporting of components, adjustments and movements. In addition, rules that aggregate over one or more dimensions for a given concept will now report all facts tagged with that concept and any of the members of those dimensions. This makes it much easier to identify summation errors and to understand the individual facts that contribute to an aggregate total.

The upgrade also allows a rule to identify all the consistent duplicates of any fact that is referenced by the rule, whereas previous only the last consistent duplicate in the accounts document was identified. For Primary Statement rules that reference facts that were also duplicated in the Notes this was often the wrong choice for the coverage analyzer and the 'See Location' buttons in the Assurance Report.
