Branch Audit Readiness Self-Check Agent

Branches are audited on controls such as dual control, ID checks and record keeping, and gaps are usually found by the auditor first. Each month this agent runs a self-check by sampling ten records per control and comparing them with the control requirements. It finds gaps, such as a missing second signature, and assigns each fix to a staff member with a date. It then checks that each fix is done. If a fix is still open, it reminds the owner and checks again before the report is final. It also tracks previous audit findings, and any that come back are escalated. The branch manager approves the self-check report. The agent does not discipline anyone; it shows where the branch would fail an audit today so fixes happen first. Edge case: when a new control is introduced, the agent adds it to the next monthly sample.
