# Query accounting records

Query accounting records by IDs or with filters for polling. When building integrations with Brex accounting workflow, use filter-based polling as a fallback mechanism. Suggested cadence is 1 hour.

For card and reimbursement records:
Use review_status to filter by accounting workflow stage (e.g., READY_FOR_EXPORT, EXPORTED).

For bill records:
Use source_type=BILL with updated_at[gt] to poll for updated bill records.

Filter Constraints:
- review_status is only supported with CARD and REIMBURSEMENT source types
