regulatory-filing-prep

Low risk

Prepare a periodic regulatory filing for a financial institution — assemble the data, map it to the form, reconcile it and document the checks before sign-off. Use when the user has a recurring regulatory return due (fund, bank or insurer reporting to a supervisor) and asks for a filing checklist, data mapping, reconciliation, variance explanations, or a review pack for the person signing.

accrual-schedule

Low risk

Build the period-end accrual schedule — for each accrual, compute the entry, cite the support, and draft the JE. Use during month-end close; the JE is a draft for controller approval, not a posting.

audit-xls

Low risk

Audit a spreadsheet for formula accuracy, errors, and common mistakes. Scopes to a selected range, a single sheet, or the entire model (including financial-model integrity checks like BS balance, cash tie-out, and logic sanity). Triggers on "audit this sheet", "check my formulas", "find formula errors", "QA this spreadsheet", "sanity check this", "debug model", "model check", "model won't balance", "something's off in my model", "model review".

break-trace

Low risk

Root-cause a reconciliation break to its source transaction or posting — follow the audit trail from the break row back to the originating entry on each side and state what differs and why. Use after gl-recon has classified a break.

gl-recon

Low risk

Reconcile general ledger to subledger for a trade date or period — match at the position or transaction level, surface breaks, and classify each break by likely cause. Use for daily or month-end recon runs across asset classes.

roll-forward

Low risk

Build a roll-forward schedule for a balance-sheet account — beginning balance plus activity less reversals equals ending balance, with each component tied to GL. Use for month-end close packages and audit support.

variance-commentary

Low risk

Write flux commentary for every P&L and balance-sheet line over threshold — current vs prior period and vs budget, with the driver explained from underlying activity. Use for the month-end close package and management reporting.
