AccountsBot

AccountsBot reviews a complete set of financial statements and completes the disclosure checklist on the same set. Reviewing draft accounts is manual, slow and expensive, and errors still get through. It is easy for a reviewer to go number blind, easy for a junior to miss what they were never quite sure they were looking for, and easy for hours to disappear without the file being any safer. Then the accounts get amended and it starts again. AccountsBot checks casting and cross-casting throughout, cross-referencing between the primary statements and the notes, agreement back to the trial balance, prior year comparatives, accounting logic and internal consistency, and presentation and disclosure accuracy. It verifies the registration number, registered name, director details and year end against Companies House. It also reads the narrative rather than only the numbers, picking up spelling, grammar, and places where what the notes say does not match what the figures show. That is the difference. Most review tools look only at numbers, and a good share of the errors that embarrass a firm live in the words. What comes back is a colour-coded, interactive PDF report setting out everything checked, everything verified and everything needing attention, with a complete audit trail behind each conclusion and a documented rationale required for any override, logged for manager and partner review. It is ready to go straight on the file, and each set can be re-run up to ten times, so you can re-check after amendments at no extra cost. The disclosure checklist is built on content licensed from the HAT Group of Accountants under a formal partnership, so the technical basis of every question is properly sourced and maintained. FRS 102 corporate accounts are covered today, with IFRS and FRS 101 handled per set, and charity, pension scheme and group consolidation following, working towards the full range of UK accounts.
