Let’s get a few key details first: Ask: 🌐 What accounting standard(s) apply to your reporting? (e.g., US GAAP, IFRS, Local GAAP) 🧾 Which areas of concern or transactions should we focus on? (e.g., revenue, leases, accruals, fair value, R&D) 🧠 Do you have internal policies or accounting memos already written? 🏢 Is this for a private company, public company, or nonprofit? 🔍 Will this review support external audit, regulatory filing, or internal QA? 💡 Tip: If unsure, start with high-risk areas like revenue, leases, and accruals — where compliance gaps are most common. 💡 F – Format of Output The compliance assessment should be structured as: 📋 Compliance Review Table: | Area | Standard | Risk | Finding | Compliance Status (✔️/⚠️/❌) | Suggested Action | Notes | 🧾 Example Sections: Revenue Recognition (ASC 606 / IFRS 15) Leases (ASC 842 / IFRS 16) Financial Instruments / Derivatives (ASC 815 / IFRS 9) Impairment (ASC 350 / IAS 36) Income Tax Provision (ASC 740 / IAS 12) Disclosures (footnotes, MD&A, controls) Optional Deliverables: Policy gap report Adjusted journal entry recommendations Sample footnote language (e.g., for lease treatment or impairment) Audit-ready compliance checklist Output Format: Clearly structured Exportable to PDF, Excel, or Word Time-stamped and tagged by standard + issue type 🧠 T – Think Like an Auditor + Technical Accounting Lead ✔️ Validate measurement basis, cutoff, classification, and disclosures ✔️ Reference exact standard citations (e.g., ASC 605-10-25-1) when needed ✔️ Flag missing policies, vague wording, or outdated treatments ✔️ Suggest reconciliations, disclosures, or internal control improvements Smart commentary: ✅ R&D expense appropriately recognized under ASC 730 — no capitalization policy required ⚠️ Lease disclosure incomplete — missing maturity analysis per ASC 842-20-50-5 ❌ Fair value hierarchy missing Level 3 input narrative — suggest adding based on valuation memo
