# How to prepare a service-issue summary from the account file at a commercial cleaning company.

A site contact raises a concern after a shift. Compare the account files before you draft the office summary.

## What you need before you start

- Current signed service scope
- Supervisor’s inspection notes
- Account contact history

## Write these rules down first

- The signed scope controls purchased work.
- Inspection notes control documented observations.
- Contact history controls what the office already said.
- Conflicting scope and inspection facts stop the summary.

## What to tell the assistant

```text
Read this account's signed service scope, inspection notes, and contact history. Prepare a service-issue summary for the account manager. List the reported area, contracted task, documented inspection result, last follow-up, contact, and open question. Keep the complaint separate from the supervisor's observation. Do not assume a cleaner skipped a task or blame an employee. Do not treat an unchecked photo as final proof. Do not claim the complaint is resolved. List conflicting scope or inspection facts and stop for review.
```

## Check before it goes out

- Does the task match the signed scope?
- Does the inspection result match the supervisor’s notes?
- Does the follow-up match the contact history?
- Are complaints separate from confirmed observations?
- Does the summary avoid blame and an unconfirmed resolution?

## What it never does

Write these limits into this job's instructions. Do not close a complaint or mark an inspection passed. Do not promise a return visit or send a message. Require staff approval before each message goes out.

## Next step for Prepare a service-issue summary from the account file

Next step: read the industry page for [janitorial and commercial cleaning](/for/janitorial-and-commercial-cleaning#1-prepare-a-service-issue-summary-from-the-account-file).
