A clear job
for every step.
This is a proposed workflow pattern. We confirm data access, permissions, integration options and review ownership with your team before implementation.
Confirm reporting permissions, dimensions and consolidation boundaries. Sensitive financial extracts need agreed storage and access controls.
Assemble the right context
Assemble current and comparison-period reports, entity and dimension definitions, approved thresholds and explanatory notes supplied by budget owners.
Perform the bounded task
Identify material movements and draft a narrative that links every numeric statement to a source. Separate known causes from questions needing investigation.
Review before taking action
The controller reviews figures, period comparability and explanations. Unsupported causal statements are removed or returned to the budget owner.
Deliver and record the result
Deliver an approved variance pack with source references and a list of open actions for the reporting cycle.
Build an improvement loop
around real work.
Track numeric corrections, unresolved explanations, report preparation time and reviewer effort before claiming an improvement.
Keep the input, relevant context, review decision and final result connected. When a reviewer corrects something, use that evidence to improve the instructions or integration, then validate the change against representative cases.
