The Director Accounting & Reporting (A&R) must approve each consolidating journal entry (CJE) with supporting documentation for validity, completeness and accuracy of the adjustment amount as well as the accounts, company and period to which the entry is posted. The Director A&R then signs off on the journal entry form as approval. If the “originator” of an entry is someone outside of Financial Reporting, an additional approval is needed on the entry from the “originator” to ensure the entry has been recorded accurately in SCORE/COSMO.
