Audit the next card statement
See this course’s project requirements
A reconciled fictional card statement with daily-interest estimate, grace-period decision, payment allocation and a deadline plan.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- A reconciled credit-card transaction register and statement check.
- A billing-cycle timeline with current balance, statement balance and applicable payment action.
- A balance-days interest worksheet with rate units and calculation limits.
- A payment-allocation ledger with category balances and a total-debt check.
- A promotional repayment calendar with a full-payoff check and offer-type comparison.
- A next-statement audit with credited payments, new charges and an exception note.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- All supplied records reconcile and the decision uses the named case rules.
- Calculations show units, intermediate values and a second check.
- Changed-input practice revises the affected result and identifies uncertainty.
- The final project combines six lesson records, separates fictional assumptions from current rules, and states a supported next step.

The idea in everyday life
This is an original fictional practice case. No account, payment, personal record or outside participation is required. Prior statement $205; credited payment $205; new purchases $90; new fee $0; interest $0. Case purchase grace conditions are maintained.
Check what actually posted after the planned payment; a successful plan and a correct next statement require separate evidence.
Audit the next card statement — worked practice
Check what actually posted after the planned payment; a successful plan and a correct next statement require separate evidence.
Use paper or a local table; label all amounts as fictional USD unless the case names another unit. Prior statement $205; credited payment $205; new purchases $90; new fee $0; interest $0. Case purchase grace conditions are maintained.
Next-cycle activity
Paste at A1.
| ARecord | BSigned balance effect USD |
|---|---|
| Opening statement | 205 |
| Credited payment | -205 |
| New purchases | 90 |
| New fee | 0 |
| Interest | 0 |
Copy as plain text
1. Step 1: Carry forward the old statement balance
Carry forward the old statement balance.
You should see: $205.
Check what actually posted after the planned payment; a successful plan and a correct next statement require separate evidence.
2. Step 2: Match the credited payment to that balance
Match the credited payment to that balance.
You should see: 205−205=$0 old debt.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
3. Step 3: Add only the new cycle’s stated activity
Add only the new cycle’s stated activity.
You should see: New closing balance $90.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
4. Step 4: Write a review and error-question record
Write a review and error-question record.
You should see: Expected $90; investigate any unmatched interest or fees instead of deleting them.
Keep this intermediate result so the final decision can be checked.
What to finish
A next-statement audit with credited payments, new charges and an exception note.
Watch for this
Assuming full payment eliminates every later fee or residual-interest question.
How can I tell I understand it?
Reconcile a next-cycle card statement and identify an unsupported charge for inquiry on a new supplied case, with a visible intermediate check and no unsupported real-world promise.
