TL;DR
Screen 100% of your GL using configurable risk criteria plus pattern checks - no more ad-hoc filters. Every flagged line shows a short, plain-English reason and the exact context reviewers need. Finspectors provides one Final Score to prioritize work while keeping the “why” visible and auditable; keep your current suite and use Finspectors for triage and evidence, then export back to your binders.

Upload GL → Finspectors applies risk criteria + pattern checks → you get a prioritized list with clear reasons → review, note, and export a clean trail back to your binder.
How Risk Scoring Works
Finspectors evaluates every entry through two lenses. First, your configurable risk criteria (e.g., potential duplicates, weekend postings, unusually round amounts, off-pattern narration) to surface obvious attention points. Second, a pattern check that highlights combinations auditors may not spot at a glance. Each flagged line is explained in plain English - what raised the hand and where to look - then assigned a single Final Score so reviewers know what to open first. You can start with conservative settings, adjust over time, and keep a short change log so everyone understands what’s in play.
From First Load to Final Sign-off (Reviewer Walkthrough)
- Load & triage. Import your GL. Finspectors immediately presents a prioritized view - highest Final Scores at the top - with a clear count of items to review.
- Open an item. Click any line to see the reason (which risk criteria/patterns triggered) and the key fields that matter. Everything is in simple language.
- Check evidence. Open the linked evidence packet (invoice, statement, memo). Packets are digitally sealed (file fingerprint + timestamp) so you can trust nothing changed after upload.
- Decide & note. Add a short reviewer note (“what this proves / why accepted or escalated”). If something’s missing, raise an exception in the same flow - no side emails.
- Resolve or escalate. Mark cleared, request a replacement, or send for a second look.
- Export & file. When done, export the table (reasons, notes, links) and evidence packets back into your existing binder/workpaper structure.
Coexistence with Your Current Suite
This is not a rip-and-replace. Keep your planning forms, sign-offs, and binder structure exactly as they are. Finspectors slots in for triage + evidence - the two places where spreadsheets and email slow reviews - and then exports everything back to your suite. You reach the same sign-offs faster, with clearer reasoning and a cleaner trail.
Limits & Human Judgment
Risk scoring surfaces candidates; auditors conclude. Materiality, sampling, and final opinions remain professional judgment. Finspectors’ role is to (a) screen the full population, (b) explain why an item deserves attention, and (c) package the proof so any reviewer can re-perform quickly. It’s not a black box; it’s a disciplined way to focus attention and document decisions.
