Suggested progression
- Validate job-cost and service-line requirements with the owner and current bookkeeper.
- Agree which historical corrections are worth making and which rules should apply prospectively.
- Complete approved cleanup through a scoped, human-reviewed engagement.
- Re-run the assessment and establish a recurring exception-review cadence.
- Introduce owner dashboards only after the underlying measures are understood.
Scope and limitations
This fictional assessment illustrates diagnostic decision support. A real
engagement would define connected entities, review period, sample rules,
exclusions, intended reporting uses, and known limitations. It would not
constitute an audit, review engagement, tax opinion, or guarantee.
