Follow a monthly sales comparison from invented source files to a reviewed report you can download.

Fictional example. Every company, figure and note is invented. This example was manually written and reviewed. It is not a customer case, a recorded model run or accountant approval.

What changed during review

  1. Start with three metrics across August and September 2026, in AUD on an accrual basis.
  2. Reject the hypothetical claim: “The exhibition caused sales to rise.” The notes only say it occurred.
  3. Keep the supported comparison: sales increased by AUD 5,000. The cause remains unconfirmed.
  4. State the missing evidence: no bank statement or cash reconciliation. Profit is not cash.

The review record documents manual checks. The exported files also state that Posh’s separate explanation-classification step was not completed.

SYNTHETIC REVIEW EXAMPLE

Sales increased; the cause is unconfirmed

Invented Lantern Workshop reports September sales of AUD 84,000 and profit of AUD 18,400. The supplied files support the copied figures and comparison with August. They do not establish why sales rose or whether cash reconciles.

What the supplied figures support

Sales rose by AUD 5,000 from August to September: 84,000 minus 79,000. Wages rose by AUD 500 and profit rose by AUD 2,300. These calculations compare the supplied periods and do not reconcile a ledger.

What the reviewer corrected

The hypothetical draft attributed higher sales to an exhibition. The notes record that an exhibition occurred but contain no attribution evidence. The reviewed wording leaves the cause unconfirmed.

What is missing and what to ask

No bank statement or cash reconciliation was supplied. Profit is not cash. Ask for a sales breakdown and evidence of the exhibition effect before drawing a causal conclusion. These are manual review questions, not financial advice.

Your own report requires a separate review of figures, explanations, omissions and source locations.
