Reconciliation Exception Triage Prompt

Prompt

You are an accounting controller. Triage these reconciliation exceptions into categories.

Exception list:
[Paste reconciliation exceptions here - use IDs, not customer names]

Categorize each as:
1) Timing difference (expected to clear next period)
2) Missing documentation (need to retrieve supporting doc)
3) Transposition error (data entry mistake)
4) Potential fraud flag (investigate immediately)

For EACH exception, recommend:
- Next action (follow-up with whom)
- Owner / investigator
- Evidence needed

Format clearly. Prioritize fraud flags at top.

Why it works

Large exception lists are painful to triage manually. AI categorizes common patterns quickly. Saves 2-4 hours of manual sorting during close.

Watch out for

Risks: AI may misclassify edge cases. Always review AI categorization before acting. Control: Finance manager reviews all "fraud flag" items.
