A ledger is one piece of evidence, not an automatic substitute for the underlying contribution record. Reconcile the entry with the actual transaction and investment terms.
Investigate the missing connection
Seek the relevant acknowledgment, transaction information or other appropriate evidence. State what remains unavailable and why; do not create a replacement receipt or claim a transfer occurred solely because the ledger shows a credit. Hypothetical example: a geotechnical investigation firm operating as the new commercial enterprise credits the applicant's capital account in March, but the wire the applicant can prove left the bank in May.
Ask for the explanation in writing and identify which document controls. Sometimes the answer is straightforward, such as a subscription accepted in March with funds due later, and saying so in one sentence closes the point. Collect the primary records rather than summaries: the executed subscription agreement, the escrow instructions and any release notice, the wire confirmations from both the sending and receiving banks, and the enterprise's acknowledgement of receipt.
Where the project will not release a document, record the request, its date and the response, and tell counsel, since a documented refusal is a fact about the project worth knowing before more money moves. Do not accept a reconstructed receipt in place of the record that should exist. Note in the same file who at the project answered each request and in what capacity, because a name and a role make a later follow-up far quicker.
