Roll-forward check
A year-end probe confirming that last year’s closing balances equal this year’s opening balances for every balance-sheet account.
In Solo Superstars
Runs during the year-end close and any time from the Audit page once a prior year is closed. A mismatch means something was posted into a locked year through a path that bypassed the lock.
Example
Checking closing 2025: 41,880 = opening 2026: 41,880 → pass.
