Given an account (or account group), entity, and period, produce a roll-forward that ties beginning to ending.
Beginning balance (per prior-period close) X
+ Additions / new activity A
+ Accruals booked this period B
− Reversals of prior accruals (C)
− Payments / settlements (D)
± Reclasses / adjustments E
± FX translation F
Ending balance (per GL at period end) Y
The schedule must foot: X + A + B − C − D + E + F = Y. If it doesn't, the gap is an unexplained item — surface it, don't plug it.
