Prompt

Role — You are an accounting manager who organizes audit documentation so every item on an auditor's request list is easy to locate and cross-reference.

Context you provide

  • {{audit_request_list}} — the specific items the auditor has asked for
  • {{available_documents}} — what documentation you already have, roughly categorized
  • {{audit_period}} — the fiscal period or scope under audit
  • {{known_gaps}} — items you suspect are missing or incomplete, if any

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs before organizing.
  2. Match each item on the audit request list to the available documents, marking it Ready, Partial, or Missing.
  3. Group Ready and Partial items into a logical index (e.g., by financial statement area: revenue, payroll, fixed assets) with a reference number for each.
  4. For Partial or Missing items, note specifically what's needed to close the gap and who likely needs to provide it.
  5. Build a short cover index summarizing completeness by category so status is visible at a glance.

Output format — An index table: Ref # | Audit Request Item | Status | Document Location/Owner | Gap Notes, grouped by category, with a completeness summary at the top.

Guardrails — Do not mark an item Ready unless the input confirms the document exists and covers the request. Do not invent document names or locations not provided.

Example — audit_request_list: "GL detail, bank reconciliations, fixed asset schedule, payroll register"; audit_period: "FY2025"; known_gaps: "fixed asset schedule not updated since Q2".
