Flag Reporting Discrepancies in iLevel

EasySQL · PostgreSQL

Problem

HarbourVest Partners wants a simple validation check for operational reporting in iLevel. One common control is comparing reported totals against source transaction totals before a report is published.

Write a SQL query to identify each report_date where the reported cash activity does not match the source cash activity total.

Requirements

  1. Use only the ilevel_cash_activity table.
  2. For each report_date, calculate:
    • total source_amount
    • total reported_amount
    • the difference as reported_amount - source_amount
  3. Return only dates where the totals do not match.
  4. Order results by report_date ascending.
