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.
