A benefit realization ledger reconciled to a general ledger needs the customer’s actual baseline figures and account structure. more
The measurement window ran FY25 Q1, thirteen weeks over a sample of 8,286. That sample size is on the page because a baseline drawn from twelve cases and one drawn from forty thousand are not the same instrument, and averaging them into a single confidence figure would hide which one you are looking at.
3 of 5 cash lines resting on this baseline carry a journal reference. A benefit line with no journal reference has not touched the general ledger, so it is shown as claimed rather than counted as realized cash.
