File Completion and Quality Agent
Monitors every open engagement for gaps against standards and firm policy, well before the archive deadline.
The challenge
Quality problems surface at archiving or, worse, at inspection: an unsigned workpaper, a missing consultation, a completion checklist filled in after the report date. By then the fix is expensive.
What the agent does
- Checks each open file daily against the firm’s completion requirements and the relevant standards.
- Tracks sign-off dates against report dates and the archive deadline.
- Compares what the plan said would be done with what the file shows was done.
- Sends each manager a short list of what is outstanding and gives the quality team a view across the firm.
Your people stay in control
The agent reports and reminds. It cannot sign, backdate or archive anything.
Works with

Kind of work
Monitoring and alerts. The agent keeps watch around the clock and alerts the right person when something needs attention.
