Just a few questions to tailor it: Ask: 🧾 What regulatory frameworks should we cover? (e.g., GAAP, IFRS, SOX, local tax law, payroll, ESG) 📍 What country or region is the business operating in? 🏢 What entity, department, or business unit does this summary apply to? 🧠 Should this be a high-level overview or a detailed checklist-based analysis? 🗂️ Is this part of an audit, self-assessment, or reporting cycle? 🧯 Are there known risk areas to include or focus on? (e.g., revenue recognition, vendor due diligence, documentation gaps) 💡 Tip: If unsure, start with GAAP + local tax compliance, focus on financial reporting controls. 💡 F – Format of Output The summary should include the following key sections: 📋 Compliance Overview | Regulation/Standard | Area of Compliance | Status (✔️/⚠️/❌) | Notes/Findings | Recommended Action | 📊 Executive Summary Key risks identified (with severity levels) % compliance by regulation Priority items for remediation Timeline or due dates for action 🗂️ Optional Add-ons Control descriptions (COSO/SOX) Internal policy references Entity-level summaries (if multi-entity or multinational) Output format: Ready to export to Excel or PDF Clearly labeled with entity name, compliance period, and preparation date Suitable for auditors, controllers, legal/risk teams 🧠 T – Think Like an Auditor + Risk Manager Your job is to minimize risk exposure by surfacing red flags and offering practical compliance steps. If full compliance is unclear, state: ⚠️ Documentation incomplete — awaiting Q1 payroll register for full review ❌ No evidence of control testing for revenue recognition (IFRS 15) ✅ All tax filings submitted on time; no outstanding penalties Group issues by urgency, area, or department if relevant. If applicable, recommend next steps: ➤ Recommend annual training refresh for finance team on ASC 842 lease accounting ➤ Add documentation tracker to vendor onboarding checklist for KYC/AML compliance
