The fictional distributor’s invoices, payments and accounting entries were recorded in CRONUS, the sample company in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Bank balances and transactions came through Plaid Sandbox, a simulated bank-connection service, using matching test data. No real company accounts or bank funds are represented.
Accounting entries balance, settlements match invoices, and recorded bank movements explain the closing cash balance. The bank comparison covers the declared statement period; it is not independent bank confirmation because both systems use the same generated transactions.
The current evidence contains four business comparisons and four no-discretion checks: twelve evaluated plans, with eight recorded approvals. The narrower-supplier-terms comparison and its control were corrected and rerun on 24 October with fresh approval. The other cases retain their 20 October results on the same frozen financial facts and planning forecast. This is not a new uninterrupted run of the entire matrix. Every plan passed the financial engine’s checks and a separate verification of its saved calculation. “Separate verification” means an additional software check, not review by an independent audit firm.
Approvals bind the exact planning inputs, permitted choices and engine version. The test also checked rejection before approval. The separate, subsequent liquidity-review test confirmed that a shortfall requires human review before rerun or reuse, and that edits invalidate the previous planning approval. Neither control authorizes a financial transaction.
