What they did
1) Download the bank statements and copies of your submitted expense claims for the period you want to reconcile. Make both document sets available in a Claude Cowork task. 2) Ask Claude to reconcile the statements against the claims and identify discrepancies. 3) Review the flagged entries for mistyped amounts, incorrect currencies, and duplicate claims, using the original transaction and claim as the comparison. 4) Use the discrepancies to correct your reimbursement claims and recover any underpayment. Finish with the corrected claims rather than counting every flagged item as money owed to you.
How it went
The author reported reclaiming $922, including $768 from a wrong-currency entry, and finding a small duplicate claim in another report.
Worth knowing
The duplicate claim was disclosed in a follow-up; this reconciliation found errors in both directions.
