About this skill
About Audit prep checklist
Year-end audits drag on when documents are found one request at a time. This skill builds a checklist by area — cash, receivables, payables, fixed assets, payroll, tax and equity — with the reconciliations auditors expect, owners and due dates worked back from the audit start date. It flags the gaps auditors commonly find. Requirements differ by country and auditor, so it reminds you to confirm the list with your audit firm before you start. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send your company type, country, year-end date and main accounts; the reply is laid out as “Checklist by area: item, owner, due, status”, “Reconciliations” and “Common gaps”.
