Bill Reconciliation

Bill reconciliation is the process of matching utility invoices against meter readings, contracts, and internal records to resolve discrepancies.

Definition

Bill reconciliation involves matching utility invoices against independent records — meter readings, contract terms, prior bills — to identify and resolve discrepancies, such as incorrect tariff application, estimated versus actual readings, or duplicate charges.

Why It Matters

Without regular reconciliation, billing errors can persist across multiple billing cycles before being caught, compounding the financial impact.
