Use the agreement’s adjustment clause, the count or valuation records, the closing statement and any settlement or credit documentation. Link additional payments or refunds to bank records. The purpose is a complete reconciliation that shows why the final figure differs and what obligations remain.
Keep the adjustment trail chronological
Start with the provisional amount, identify the counted stock and show each authorized adjustment. Explain who agreed the calculation and how any dispute was resolved. Preserve authentic records rather than replacing the original estimate without explanation.
Have advisers reconcile the result with the company’s books and the investment schedule submitted for immigration review. Keep the count itself, not merely its total. A signed inventory sheet listing quantities, descriptions and unit values, with excluded and disputed lines marked, answers questions that a one-line closing adjustment cannot.
Add the correspondence in which each disputed line was resolved, and note who had authority to agree it on each side. Where a credit was applied against the price rather than refunded, show the credit on the closing statement and state that no money moved, since a reader comparing bank records with the price will otherwise find a gap and ask about it. Store the records in the order the transaction happened and leave the original estimate in place; a file that opens with the final number and offers no history invites the question of what was replaced.
