Runs control testing on a financial dataset and produces an audit findings memo by severity.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
This is an important governance issue. You'll want to evaluate your controls around expense submission, approval workflows, and reconciliation procedures. There are several categories of findings you might encounter. You should probably review your data for completeness and accuracy issues. Testing different control points could reveal risks. Documenting issues by severity level is standard practice. Have you identified specific areas of concern, or would you like to start with a comprehensive assessment?
CONTROL ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK Dataset: Q3 expense reports (847 transactions) Assertion categories mapped: existence, completeness, accuracy, timeliness Severity classification: material weakness | significant deficiency | standard issue FINDINGS IDENTIFIED Finding 1: Missing Receipt Attachments Assertion affected: Completeness Sample tested: 347 transactions Failed: 42 items (12%) Severity: Significant Deficiency Root cause: Mobile submission app doesn't enforce receipt upload Remediation: Require receipt before approval state transitions; add validation at approve button Finding 2: Approval by Spender's Manager Assertion affected: Authorization Sample tested: all approvals Failed: 14 transactions Severity: Material Weakness Root cause: Direct reports can approve own submissions via manager override Remediation: Escalate to next-level manager when submitter reports to approver Finding 3: Reimbursement Variance Assertion affected: Accuracy Sample tested: policy-compliant items Failed: 8 per-diem charges over limit Severity: Standard Issue Root cause: Policy limits updated but training incomplete Remediation: Email guidance to finance; update approval workflow with new limits AUDIT MEMO SUMMARY Three findings grouped by severity. Combined theme: process automation gaps expose authorization risk. Committee ready format with remediation timeline.
