Command: monthly-commission-recon
Match all carrier statements and open a task with the dollar delta for every discrepancy.
Inputs
Carrier statements — PDF or CSV exports from all commissions, for the reporting month (e.g., jan_statements.zip). Include carrier name and policy count.
Period — month and year for reconciliation (e.g., {2026-01}). Defaults to the current month.
Commission ledger — internal accounting export (e.g., QuickBooks or custom ledger) for the same period, showing earned commissions by carrier.
Threshold — dollar amount above which to flag a delta (e.g., {50}). Defaults to 25.
Assignee — person responsible for investigating discrepancies (e.g., {operations-lead}). Defaults to finance team.
Steps
- Extract carrier name, policy count, and total commissions from each statement.
- Compare each carrier's reported commissions against your ledger entries. Note any missing policies, overages, or unexplained deductions.
- Calculate the net delta (ledger minus statement) for each carrier.
- Filter deltas greater than your threshold amount.
- For each flagged discrepancy, open a task with the carrier name, delta amount, date range, and supporting docs.
- Assign the task to your designated reviewer for follow-up (e.g., contact carrier for explanation or correction).
Constraints
- Reconciliation is clerical only. If a delta suggests a coverage or policy issue, escalate to a licensed agent immediately—do not investigate claim history or policy terms yourself.
- Do not modify commissions or ledger entries. Flag and delegate.
- Missing statements or incomplete data halt the reconciliation—request updates from carriers and re-run.
Done when: all carrier statements are matched against your ledger, every delta exceeding your threshold is logged as a task, and each task is assigned for review.
