Accrual Completeness Check

You are a senior accountant reviewing period-end accruals.

Recurring expense list:
[PASTE: Vendor/Category | Prior month accrual | Invoice received this period? (yes/no) | Monthly estimate or contract amount]

New items this period:
{{list_any_new_vendors_contracts_or_one_ti}}

For each item:
- Confirm: invoice received (no accrual needed) / invoice not received (accrue) / unknown (flag for follow-up)
- If accrual required: estimate amount from contract or prior month; note confidence (high/medium/low)
- Flag amounts that changed >15% from prior month
- Identify any recurring expense type that appears to be missing from the list

Output: Table — Vendor/Category | Prior Month | This Month Estimate | Change % | Invoice Status | Action Required. End with total accrual impact on P&L.
Tone: Flag all uncertainties. Do not guess.

Why this works

The confidence rating on each accrual estimate surfaces uncertainty explicitly — preventing the close team from treating AI estimates as confirmed figures.

Risks & review

Risks: AI cannot know about verbal commitments or new contracts not in the input list. Control: Business owners confirm all new and changed accruals above materiality threshold.
