Summary
Reconciliation errors hit agency cash, client remittances, consumer balances and trust together.
Prevention, daily matching and pre-remittance checks keep issues internal.
Nexum's reference-based posting, Payments list and consistent fee logic make it practical.
Key takeaways
Reconcile before every remittance.
Fix the account and the client report together.

Errors travel
A payment on the wrong account means two wrong balances, a short remittance and an over-remittance, a consumer called after paying and two wrong client reports.
Common causes
- Payments without reliable references.
- Batch deposits that combine multiple clients.
- Reversals and chargebacks not posted back to accounts.
- Direct payments to clients not reported to the agency.
- Manual posting errors.
- Integration failures that drop or duplicate payments.
- Fee percentage errors on client records.
Prevention
- Require references on every payment.
- Post from the account with method and reference.
- Keep client fee percentages accurate.
- Monitor integrations for failures.
- Record reversals immediately.
Daily matching
Match processor and bank activity to postings every business day, and work unmatched items with an owner. See reconciliation is a revenue-control system.
Before every remittance
Before remitting to a client, confirm:
- Every included payment is posted to that client's accounts.
- Reversals since the last remittance are reflected.
- Fees are calculated at the correct percentage.
- Direct payments reported by the client are handled per agreement.
When you find an error
- Correct the account(s) and record why.
- Correct client reporting and remittance.
- Adjust commissions if affected.
- Tell the client proactively, with the explanation and correction.
- Fix the cause.
Measure it
- Posting accuracy.
- Remittance corrections per month.
- Time spent reconciling.
- Client-reported discrepancies (target: zero).
