Improve visibility into servicing-related GL activity through a controlled reconciliation process that connects financial balances to loan-level transaction detail.

Extend the General Ledger Recon Process

Mortgage servicers often manage reconciliation activity across disconnected GL systems, bank data, spreadsheets, and servicing platforms. While enterprise GL systems provide financial balances, they typically lack the loan-level operational detail needed to fully research servicing-related activity.

A Smarter Approach to GL Recons

Effective reconciliation requires more than balancing totals. High-performing servicing organizations combine financial controls with operational detail to improve accuracy, research efficiency, and oversight.

1. Data Aggregation Combine GL activity, bank statement data, and servicing information into a centralized reconciliation process

2. Balance & Transaction Validation Reconcile balances, outstanding activity, and GL control amounts across daily and monthly cycles.

3. Automated Matching Apply configurable reconciliation rules to identify offsetting transactions and clear matching activity automatically

4. Exception Management Surface unresolved transactions and account outages for analyst review and research.

5. System-Assisted Resolution Support reconciliation teams with guided matching and remaining transaction analysis.

6. Reporting & Governance Produce standardized reconciliation reporting with approvals, supporting documentation, and audit history.

Where GL Reconciliation Becomes Difficult

Reconciliation processes become increasingly inefficient when financial balances, operational activity, and exception tracking are managed separately across multiple systems and manual workflows.

Common Operational Challenges

  • Limited visibility into servicing-related GL activity
  • Time-consuming exception research
  • Manual transaction matching
  • Inconsistent reconciliation controls
  • Delayed month-end balancing
  • Audit documentation spread across files and emails

The challenge isn’t reconciling the balance—it’s understanding the servicing activity behind it.  Having loan-level visibility into GL transactions changes the speed and quality of the reconciliation process

Process Transformation in Practice

A leading mortgage servicer modernized its reconciliation operations by implementing Integra GL Recon to supplement and extend its existing general ledger process. Prior to implementation, reconciliation teams relied heavily on spreadsheets and manual research to connect servicing activity with GL balances and bank transactions

Before

  • Manual balancing workflows
  • Limited transaction visibility
  • Heavy reliance on spreadsheets

After

  • Automated transaction matching
  • Loan-level servicing detail to GL activity
  • Centralized reporting and approvals

 Results

By centralizing reconciliation workflows and linking GL transactions to loan-level payee information, the organization significantly improved exception research, accelerated balancing cycles, strengthened controls, and increased visibility into servicing-related financial activity

Enabled by Integra RECON

The GL Recon module within Integra RECON acts as an operational extension of the mortgage servicer’s existing general ledger environment. Rather than replacing the core GL platform, the system enhances reconciliation workflows by combining financial balances, bank activity, and loan-level servicing detail into one centralized process.

The GL Recon module enables:

  • Daily and monthly GL reconciliations
  • Reconciliation at account, cost center, and payee level
  • Automated matching through configurable reconciliation rules
  • Validation controls before analyst submission
  • Rule performance tracking and testing
  • System-assisted exception matching and resolution
  • Formal reconciliation reporting with approvals and attachments

Integra GL Recon gives reconciliation teams operational visibility that traditional GL systems simply were not designed to provide.

Results for a Stronger GL Reconciliation Process

When reconciliation processes combine financial controls with operational servicing detail, organizations improve both accounting accuracy and operational efficiency.

  • Faster reconciliation cycles
  • Reduced manual research effort
  • Improved exception management
  • Greater visibility into servicing activity
  • Stronger controls and audit readiness
  • Better coordination between finance and servicing teams
