A little structure.
A clearer next step.
Explore the same four fictional scenarios in the downloadable sample CSV. Use the filters to inspect the example handoff checks.

These fictional rows match the sample CSV. The displayed checks are static examples; this page does not evaluate your data or execute controls. This is not the complete workbook or a prescribed accounting checklist.
Know who moves it.
Give each task an owner and a due date. Use the entity field to keep the scope clear when several businesses share a close process.
Keep support close.
Record the location of supporting work in your existing storage. The kit organizes references; it does not store or verify your evidence.
Make the handoff visible.
Preparation, approval, and closure are separate decisions. Changed evidence can need a fresh review, and an approved task can still have an unresolved tie-out. Your team determines the final handoff under its own policies.
