Beginning Balance Evidence and Gap Workbench
Description
Organize beginning balances by entity, TAS, line item, system source, support status, unsupported population, management position, and evidence package readiness.
AI / analytics pattern
entity matching + document intelligence + evidence scoring
Automation level / stage
assistive / analyst-in-the-loop / auditor-ready evidence support
Expected benefit
Creates a governed workbench for establishing and defending beginning balances.
Audit / financial statement impact
Supports FY27/FY28 audit baseline and opening-balance assertion support.
Controls / human review
Human review required for AI recommendations; cite source records/documents; retain prompt/output logs, model/version metadata, reviewer approval, and exception rationale; monitor accuracy and bias/adverse impact where applicable.
Data needed
Advana-FM governed data products, source system extracts, transaction populations, GL/subledger detail, supporting documents, reviewer actions, data-quality rules, lineage metadata
Possible metrics
coverage %, completeness %, source-to-statement traceability %, sample package cycle time, first-pass acceptance %, exception aging, reviewer override rate, evidence gap closure rate
MVP scope
Build read-only MVP for one DWCF reporting entity / one line-item action team; validate data completeness, source links, exception queues, and human-review controls before production workflow integration.
Related material weakness / control objective
Material line-item support; source-to-statement traceability; data completeness; evidence reliability; large-sample testing support.
