    To “reconcile” two things is to show that they are consistent (e.g. a bank reconciliation shows that a bank balances in a company’s books is consistent with the balance per the bank’s statement). A reconciliation shows the make-up of any differences – which should obviously be verifiable.

    If, for example, the Feb payroll was $125k and March’s payroll was $160K, the main difference might be that Feb was a 4-week payroll run and March a 5-week payroll run. The further increase might be attributed to new starters (or more starters than leavers) or increases in rates of pay.
