Example result
This month's transport expense is double last month's. I do not know if it is a trip or an account error.
Variance copied: this month's transport, double last month's. Questions - Is there a trip in this month's note that was not in the previous one? - Is there a line in another account that should be here, or the other way around? I am not proposing a cause. This stays with you so you can correct it before anyone else sees it. I did not send it.
A tip Ask. Do not explain the variance with a story.
