Accounts review
Give reviewers the exceptions, not another file to work through.
Numra runs the first-pass review of your management accounts before they reach the reviewer.
It checks the P&L and balance sheet against the working papers, source documents and the firm’s review rules, then shows the reviewer where they actually need to focus.
Start the review with the checking already done.
Once the preparer finishes the management accounts, Numra runs the firm’s agreed checks across the file.
Each line gets a clear result, with the checks, findings and supporting evidence behind it.
The reviewer can then focus on the exceptions, make the final judgement and sign off the accounts.
From prepared accounts to signed-off review.
Bring everything together
The accounts come in from your accounting system, alongside the working papers and supporting documents used by the preparer.
Run the first-pass review
Numra runs the firm’s agreed checks across each relevant P&L and balance sheet line. These can include reconciliations, completeness checks, recalculations, trends and client-specific review rules.
Show the reviewer where to focus
Each line is marked as In line, Review or Flagged, so the reviewer can go straight to the areas that need their attention.
Show the work behind every result
Open any line to see what was checked, what Numra found and the source documents behind it.
Record the reviewer’s decision
The reviewer can mark a point as explained, record that a correction has been posted, or leave it open for follow-up.
Recheck any corrections
If the accounts change, Numra reruns the affected checks and keeps the original finding in the review history.
Keep track of open points
Anything still outstanding stays visible until it has been dealt with.
Approve the accounts
Once the review points are cleared, the reviewer signs off the accounts and they’re ready to go to the client.

Built around the way your firm reviews accounts.
Different clients need different checks.
Numra can be configured around the firm’s review methodology, including:
What should be checked
Which documents and data should be used
What counts as an acceptable result
Which thresholds apply
What should be brought to the reviewer
What evidence should be kept
Works with the systems you already use.
Numra sits alongside your existing accounting, working-paper and document systems rather than replacing them.
For accounts review, that can include your accounting platform, working papers, SharePoint or shared drives, payroll, bank data, tax information and email.

Spend review time where it matters.
Save reviewer time
Start with the first-pass checking already done and the exceptions identified.
Review more than the obvious areas
Run the agreed checks across every relevant line instead of relying on a high-level scan.
Get clean files through faster
If everything is in line, the reviewer can see the evidence without recreating the work.
Investigate issues before review
Give the reviewer the finding, the supporting evidence and the likely next step together.
Apply the same review standard every time
Run the firm’s methodology consistently across clients and periods.
Keep the reviewer in control
Numra does the checking. The reviewer still makes the accounting judgement and signs off the file.
A much faster way to review management accounts.
The reviewer starts with the checking already done and the exceptions clearly identified.
They can see what was checked, what Numra found and the evidence behind it, then focus their time on the areas that actually need judgement.
Less time scanning accounts and chasing documents. More time reviewing the things that matter.
