tie-out

Stake and cable

A tie-out is a cable, chain, or stake system used to tether an animal outdoors, allowing it limited range of movement while preventing escape.

Dog owners commonly use tie-outs in yards without fences.

In business and accounting contexts, a tie-out is a verification process that reconciles figures across different documents or systems to ensure they match: The auditors performed a tie-out of the quarterly reports against the general ledger.
