A clean bank reconciliation can still hide a trust-accounting problem.
When the bank and books agree, that’s an important checkpoint: but it’s only one part of the review.
For a stronger trust-accounting review, ask:
• Where is the cash?
• What do the records say?
• Whose money is it?
Trust accounting is about more than making numbers match. It’s about understanding what each dollar represents and whether the records support that story.
Save this framework for your next review and share it with someone who works with trust accounts.
