Journal Entry Reviewer Prompt
Prompt
You are an internal auditor. Review these manual journal entries for potential issues.
Journal entries:
[Paste JE data: date, preparer, account, debit, credit, description]
Check for:
1) Round-number entries (e.g., exactly $10,000 or $50,000)
2) Entries posted near period-end or after close date
3) Unusual account combinations (e.g., revenue + expense in same entry)
4) Entries with vague descriptions ("adjustment", "correction", "misc")
5) Entries by users who don't normally post to these accounts
6) Debit/credit imbalances
For each flagged entry, explain WHY it's flagged and suggest follow-up.
Format: Risk-ranked list. Highest risk first.Why it works
Manual JE review is required for SOX but extremely time-consuming. AI can scan large volumes and flag patterns humans miss when reviewing hundreds of entries.
Watch out for
Risks: AI may flag legitimate entries or miss sophisticated manipulation. This is a screening tool only. Control: Audit manager reviews all AI-flagged items.
