Financial Statement Tie-out Agent
Agrees every number in the draft accounts to the file and runs the disclosure checklist against the framework.
The challenge
The last days of an engagement go on casting, cross-checking notes to primaries, and working through a disclosure checklist that runs to hundreds of lines. Errors found here are embarrassing; errors missed here are worse.
What the agent does
- Casts the statements and checks internal consistency between primaries and notes, and between this year and comparatives.
- Agrees each figure to the trial balance or the workpaper that supports it, and marks what does not tie.
- Works through the disclosure checklist for the framework in use and cites the paragraph behind each gap.
- Re-runs in minutes when the client sends a new draft and reports only what changed.
Your people stay in control
Each checklist answer shows the page it relied on. A manager confirms the checklist; the agent never marks a requirement as not applicable on its own.
