Can you trust the numbers in Embat?
Embat is a treasury management platform that lets a company track, forecast, reconcile and move cash across its entities, banks and currencies in one connected place. Its own help pages give 4 reasons its numbers can look different from what you expect. The first to rule out: The balance Embat works out from transactions can differ from the bank's figure while payments are still in process or have not come through, as its help pages say.
Is it broken, or just counted differently?
A number can look wrong because the business changed, or because of how Embat counts it. Below is what Embat keeps, where its help pages say the numbers can differ, and how to check them yourself.

Know the day a number breaks, not the month after.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
