The App Store & Payment Gateway Reconciliation service bridges the gap between engineering telemetry and accounting ledgers. When software systems record gross customer purchases while banks receive net proceeds after commission tiers, withholding taxes, and foreign exchange spreads, reconciliation errors can distort financial planning.

Our specialists perform a transaction-level match across all platforms, ensuring every dollar billed is accounted for in bank deposits.


Core Audit Areas

  1. Storefront Commission Tier Verification
    Confirming whether Apple’s 15% rate for subscribers retained beyond one year (or qualifying under the App Store Small Business Program) is properly reflected across your database.

  2. International Digital Tax Deductions
    Auditing deductions for VAT, GST, and provincial sales taxes across 175 global territories to verify that gross revenue isn’t reported as net proceeds.

  3. Multi-Currency FX Variance Calculation
    Quantifying foreign exchange drift between purchase timestamp rates and Apple/Google settlement clearing dates.

  4. Clawback & Chargeback Reconciliation
    Tracking retrospective customer refunds and disputed charges against the original cohort transaction to prevent inflated cohort retention records.


Deliverables

  • Clean multi-platform reconciliation model linking gross orders to net bank receipts.
  • Identified discrepancy log highlighting unmapped storefront tax rules and webhook timing gaps.
  • Standardized monthly financial reconciliation template for ongoing internal accounting.
