    Before using AI at work

    Can I rely on automatic categories?

    Check them against the chart of accounts and transaction substance, especially for unusual items.

    May client records go into any assistant?

    Follow engagement terms, confidentiality duties and approved data-processing arrangements.

    What should I keep for an audit trail?

    Retain source records, approvals and explanations for adjustments under the applicable retention rules.

    Can AI decide tax deductibility?

    Use qualified judgment and current authoritative rules rather than a generated classification.

    Review the evidence behind expenses

    1. Review evidence before approving expenses

      Review fictional details, correcting dates and tax fields against the submitted originals. Use fictional details without personal identifiers.

    2. Match reimbursed items without duplication

      Match fictional details to the ledger and mark the reimbursed items so they are not paid twice.

    3. Document reconciliation adjustments

      Example: Reconcile the travel account and document the reason for each adjustment before closing the period.
