  2. Turn the list into a register

    Held

    Operator reads the auditor’s request list and sorts every item by source: reports the books produce, third parties, and documents you hold.

  3. Save the reports

    Held

    Creates an audit space and saves each report the books can produce, behind one approval. A report that fails to build is retried.

The outcome

Every item on the auditor’s list has an owner and a source, the auditor has one link to everything, and they have confirmed the list complete.

What it proves

  • Runs the monthly fund close as its first step, and waits for it to finish.
  • Turns the auditor’s list into a register sorted by who holds each item.
  • Saves every report the books can produce in one approval, retrying any that fail to build.
  • Sends upload requests to banks, lawyers and companies behind one approval.
  • Checks what’s missing before fieldwork, with no one watching the clock.
  • Finishes only when the auditor confirms the list is complete.
