Define what the report counts
A Philippines admin report reconciliation starts with scope: which records belong, which period is measured, which filters apply, and which exclusions are intentional. A total is not meaningful until those boundaries match the source.
Record the source query or population reference and the time the data was retrieved.
Classify the mismatch
Separate missing records, duplicate records, stale fields, changed definitions, and calculation errors. Each category points to a different correction.
Do not “fix” a total by editing the report until the source and calculation path are understood.
Present uncertainty honestly
A manager-ready reconciliation should show matched totals, unresolved variance, likely cause, and next check. The preparer can recommend investigation without turning an estimate into a fact.
