Prepare adjusting journal entries.

I need the adjusting journal entries for June closed by Tuesday and must send them to Priya in accounting operations and then to David, the accounting manager, for sign-off, signers in that order. Reconcile the subsidiary ledgers to the general ledger first, confirm supporting invoice or contract numbers are in the memo, and prepare the batch summary that shows the net impact on retained earnings before sending.

Before I forward the draft adjusting entries to Priya, make approval painless: surface the total net impact on retained earnings at the top, list only entries above the $2,500 threshold first, include direct links to the invoices and approval emails, and flag any judgement areas where I used management estimates so Priya knows where to ask questions.

I just posted several adjusting entries tied to an inventory obsolescence estimate that came from the warehouse lead, but the estimate lacks supporting calculations and Priya will likely push back. I do not know whether warehouse can produce their worksheet quickly or whether I should escalate to David. What is the most defensible next move: request the worksheet and delay sign-off, or document the assumption and get a provisional sign-off while chasing evidence?

We repeatedly push closing deadlines because entries come back from review for missing backup or memos. I spend hours regenerating reports for reviewers instead of doing analysis. What single habit should I change in preparing adjusting entries to cut review cycles in half, and give a concrete template change I can enforce this month.
