Difference between your check amount and the amount showed in CP

What is the difference between your check amount and the amount showed in CP? and how does this come?

[ganderla]

What is CP?

[whizkiddo]

theres no difference. I wonder if you mean somethng that has to do with tax cuts. It should be mentioned in the tax details then.

Others have reported payment differences of up to a few dollars from what it says in the AdSense account for monthly earnings. The difference is after they do the monthly audit before sending payments. This could take into account accidential double clicks coming from the same IP, etc.

CP = Control Panel

thanks!

[creepychris]

Yeah. I've never had it correct. It's always been off from a few cents to up to twenty five cents. But at that kind of discrepency I don't really care.

Mine was an exact match this month. (It's never been off by more than a few cents.)

[ronin]

God, I didn't realise this was an issue. Both of mine have been to the cent. For those of you who did see discrepancies, was the difference made up the next month?

Such discrepancies wouldn't be made up if they resulted from monthly audits (which I assume are handled via an automated process).

This really isn't anything for most publishers to worry about. Unless a site has huge numbers of invalid clicks, there shouldn't be much (if any) difference between the amount reported in the Google control panel and the amount on the check.
