What does the 'Check other operating expenses' template do?

  • The template automatically displays all other operating expenses for the file.
  • At the top of the template, you can set a maximum variance as a percentage.
  • When the difference between the current year and the prior year is greater than the maximum you set, all individual general ledger accounts are displayed.
  • This way you can easily see where the variance comes from and which items need further explanation.

How do you use the variance check in this template?

  • At the top of the template, set the maximum variance you want (in %).
  • Silverfin automatically compares the current-year amounts with the prior year.
  • When the variance is greater than the margin you set, the relevant general ledger accounts are broken out.
  • For each group with a variance, add a text to explain it.
  • At the bottom of the template, tick the box to confirm the check has been carried out and completed.
