Commission Tracking & Reconciliation

Q: How does the automation detect discrepancies?

It compares each parsed commission against your loan register in real time, flagging missing loans, duplicate entries, and amount mismatches. Exceptions are logged and sent to your team immediately instead of waiting for month-end.

Q: Will the automation work with our existing accounting system?

Yes. The automation prepares validated commission records in the format your accounting system expects, reducing manual data entry and formatting errors.

Q: What happens if a commission doesn't match a loan in our register?

The automation flags the mismatch and notifies your team immediately. You can then contact the lender for clarification or update your loan register if needed.

Q: Do we still need to review commissions after automation?

Yes. Your finance team reviews flagged exceptions and approves validated batches before they are recorded in accounting.

Keeps every commission payment matched to its loan file so brokers get paid correctly and disputes get caught before they compound.

About This Automation

Commission tracking and reconciliation is the manual process of receiving lender statements, reformatting data, cross-referencing loans, identifying discrepancies, and recording commissions in the accounting system.

Key features:

Extract commission data from PDF, email, and portal statements automatically

Standardize loan IDs, dates, and amounts to match internal conventions

Match each commission to the loan register and detect duplicates or missing loans

Flag discrepancies and exceptions for immediate review

Prepare validated commission records for accounting system entry

Generate daily reconciliation alerts instead of month-end reports

1	Manual data reformatting Staff spend 20 minutes per statement batch copying and reformatting loan IDs, dates, and amounts into spreadsheet templates.	80%
2	Loan register lookup delays Cross-referencing each commission against the loan register is time-consuming and prone to lookup errors.	67%

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Commission Statement Receivedtrigger

Lender sends commission data via email, API, or portal. The automation platform monitors the inbox or API endpoint and triggers on new statements.

2. Extract and Standardize Data

The automation parses the commission statement, extracts loan ID, borrower name, commission amount, and date, and reformats them to match internal standards.

3. Query Loan Register

The automation looks up each loan in the loan register (via API or spreadsheet) to confirm funding status and borrower details.

4. Match and Validate

The automation compares the commission data to the loan register, flags duplicates, missing loans, or amount mismatches, and assigns a validation status.

5. Record

Validated commissions are automatically created as journal entries or invoices with the correct date and amount.

6. Update Commission Ledger

The master commission ledger is updated with the new commission, status, and reconciliation date.

7. Alert on Discrepancies

Any flagged discrepancies are posted with details so the finance team can investigate and contact the lender if needed.
