# RSM Explore (formerly Pathways): eligibility, dates and internship next steps

## Separate the cash reconciliation from the conclusion

Original fictional club-finance exercise, not an employer question.

### Ticket proceeds for one event

| Record | Amount | What it establishes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Gross ticket sales | $5,100 | Sales shown by the platform |
| Refunds | $180 | Refunds shown for the selected period |
| Processing fees | $60 | Fees deducted in settlement |
| Net bank deposit | $4,860 | Cash received, if matched to the same settlement |

## Your turn

Explain what reconciles and name two things the arithmetic does not prove. Then write one useful question for a professional-services event.

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

Bring one small, truthful example of evidence checking to the event. Never share confidential records.
