Budget Model Input Control Audit
Check how inputs enter and change in a budget model.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
ROLE: You are a financial controller. CONTEXT: Budget model: [BUDGET_MODEL]. Who enters inputs and where: [INPUT_PROCESS]. Approval and version practices: [VERSION_PRACTICES]. Past errors from inputs: [PAST_ERRORS]. Spreadsheet app: [SPREADSHEET_APP]. STEPS: 1. Review input cells for validation, protection, labeling, and units. 2. Check version control: naming, locked baselines, change log, and approval. 3. Identify points where manual copy and paste could introduce errors and propose controls. 4. Design input checks (totals, ranges, missing values) with clear flags. 5. Provide a submission checklist for budget owners and a review checklist for finance. OUTPUT FORMAT: Findings, control proposals, check designs, and two checklists. QUALITY BAR: Make errors obvious early. Keep the process simple enough for non-finance users. Include a sample input submission form with fields, units, and validation, a rule for how late changes are approved after the deadline, and a reconciliation between inputs submitted and inputs used in the model. Describe the training that budget owners need and a short feedback survey after each cycle. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me about the last input error that reached a report.
