What is Coding Rejection?

Definition

Coding Rejection is a finance control metric that tracks transactions that fail to meet predefined coding standards or validation rules. It identifies incorrect, incomplete, or non-compliant entries to ensure accurate financial reporting and regulatory adherence.

How Coding Rejection Works

When a transaction does not comply with organizational coding policies, it is flagged or rejected. This process relies on Master Data Dependency (Coding) to validate vendor, customer, and account information. Governance is enforced through Segregation of Duties (Coding) and a Coding Authorization Matrix. Integration with Coding Journal Integration ensures rejected items are reviewed and corrected before posting.

Summary
