Welcome to the SQL screen for the Operations Manager role at HarbourVest Partners.

The question is on your right: Flag Reporting Discrepancies in iLevel. Read through the requirements and the one table first.

Would you like to talk through your approach, or are you ready to start coding?

Talking through your plan before coding is graded well.

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.
