Accuracy You Can Verify

A generic "PDF to Excel" converter produces output that looks plausible but breaks during reconciliation. ExtractaLedger verifies the data.

Validation outputs you'll see

  • PASS/FAIL outcome for balance integrity
  • A list of Issues (rows needing review)
  • Per-row needs_review flag for unusual lines

Common problems we catch

  • A debit recorded as a credit (or vice versa)
  • A missing transaction row due to layout breaks
  • A fee line attached to the wrong row
  • Non-effective "display lines"
PASS Balance validation
Running balance integrity
Opening balance verified
Closing balance verified
2 rows flagged for review
