Month-end GST close checklist
A repeatable workflow for closing GST reconciliation with clearer ownership and better evidence.
29 May 2026
Definition
A month-end GST close checklist is the ordered set of tasks used to reconcile source files, review exceptions, and prepare the final filing position.
Why it matters
A checklist keeps the team from skipping controls when the filing deadline gets close.
Example
Upload files, map columns, review exceptions, resolve vendor follow-up items, and capture reviewer sign-off.
Common mistake
Treating the close like an ad hoc spreadsheet exercise instead of a repeatable control workflow.
