Kiiper gets the following information from Xero:
- Chart of accounts: Kiiper identifies the bank accounts registered in Xero to allow you to add additional bank information to convert bank statements and monitor bank reconciliation status.
- Tracking categories: with this information, Kiiper will know that your organization is working as a Firm and that it has child companies. This will allow you to access each organization and their bank accounts’ information.
- Bank statements, Bank transactions, Batch payments and payments: Kiiper determines the reconciliation status of each bank account.

NOTE: Kiiper doesn’t send any information back to Xero.
