Before cut-over
Pre-go-live billing financial review
A financial-controls review of a new or replacement billing application before the first live invoice run.
A billing cut-over is a financial event. Opening deferred revenue, prepaid balances, and in-flight dunning have to land in the new application at the same amounts the old one held — or the difference has to be an approved adjustment.
We sit with finance, not with the implementation vendor. Configuration is tested against the tariff book and the accounting policy. Migration files are reconciled before the weekend of cut-over, not after the first invoices have already gone out.
If the parallel run cannot be explained, we recommend delaying live invoicing. That recommendation is written so a sponsor can act on it.
Who it is for
Programme sponsors replacing a billing tool who need finance sign-off, not only an IT go-live checklist.
