Audit a month-end close checklist. The checklist, actual timing of the last close and issues found afterwards: [CLOSE_DATA]. Systems used: [SYSTEMS]. People involved: [PEOPLE]. Check that bank and credit card reconciliations, accruals, prepayments, payroll, stock and fixed assets are covered, that review and sign-off exist, and that the sequence avoids rework. Identify steps that depend on one person. Return a table with Step, Owner, Done on time?, Gap and Fix, a streamlined checklist, and a target close timetable. Accounting policies are [VERIFY] with an accountant. Also suggest a calendar with working day targets for each step, and a retrospective after each close to remove the most frequent delay. Check the arithmetic twice and show the working. A figure that fails a sanity check is a question to investigate, not proof of error or wrongdoing, so avoid accusatory wording. Close with a short note on what would make you change your conclusions, such as a different sample, a longer time period or information from another source.
