Marketplace orders to cash reconciliation

Published · Reviewed by The Diligence Standard Team · Updated

Marketplace GMV is not accounting revenue; settlements must be traced through fees, refunds, reserves and bank receipts.

Records to reconcile

  • Order and settlement exports
  • Marketplace fee and reimbursement detail
  • Receiving-bank statements

Warning signal

Reported sales use order value while deposits reflect unexplained deductions or timing.

Transaction impact

Revenue quality, margin and cash availability may be overstated.

Response

Rebuild net revenue by settlement period and reconcile every material variance.
