Distribution approval records Workbook
Organize distribution approval records with AE Tax Advisors’ editable workbook, evidence checklist and CSV export. Prepare the records for review.
When to use this workbook
Use this distribution approval records workbook to connect approval date, approving person and distribution reference before the next review. Keep the three records distinct so a missing item is visible.
Trace the movement from the owner or lender to the receiving business. Separate ownership documents, repayment terms and the ledger entry instead of inferring the arrangement from a bank description.
Review checkpoint: Cash movement alone does not settle whether the item is capital, debt, compensation or a distribution. An ambiguous agreement belongs on the reviewer’s question list.
Record checks for distribution approval records
| Record | What to check |
|---|---|
| Approval date | Record the actual date or period, then reference the document that establishes it. Keep an intended date separate from a completed event. |
| Approving person | Use a short factual description and a reference to the underlying record. Mark missing or conflicting evidence as unresolved instead of assuming an answer. |
| Distribution reference | Use a short factual description and a reference to the underlying record. Mark missing or conflicting evidence as unresolved instead of assuming an answer. |
Your distribution approval records working record
Enter short notes or document references. Use aliases instead of account numbers or personal identifiers. This worksheet exports the values you enter; it does not send them to AE or determine a filing position. Entries are not saved after you leave or reload.
Information readiness checklist
These checks track information readiness, not tax compliance or eligibility.
0 of 5 information checks marked.
Turn the record into a review handoff
For distribution approval records, start the handoff with the connection between approval date and approving person. Then identify what distribution reference still needs to establish. The exported sheet should make that relationship clear without replacing the original documents.
List the person collecting evidence separately from the professional deciding treatment. A blank field is a request for follow-up, not a zero, an approval or a concluded answer. Keep the supporting documents in your agreed secure record system; this public page accepts no document uploads.
