Manage corporate bank accounts

I need to post four wire transfers and reconcile two recent bank statements across three corporate accounts. Prepare the ledger entries, attach the transaction reference numbers, and send the reconciliation file to Priya in treasury and to our external auditor for review, with a Thursday 4pm deadline. Confirm opening balances and that the transfers preserve required minimum balances first.

Before I send the bank reconciliations to treasury, make it easy for Priya to sign off: surface variances over $5,000 on the first page, make haircut and reserve lines findable, and flag any timing differences or uncleared items that would make a reviewer hesitate.

A $12,400 debit hit our operating account overnight and the payment reference is blank. Priya will want to stop further disbursements if it's fraud. I can't tell if it's a misposted intercompany transfer or fraudulent. What's the fastest diagnostic and the safest immediate action?

Month after month we spend days reconciling the same timing differences, intercompany misposts, and uncleared vendor credits. Recommend one habit change in how we capture approvals or tag transactions that would reduce reconciliation churn and shrink the month-end close by several days.
