Audit Doc Checker

Audit Document Quality Checker

Overview

This skill reviews audit-related documents against 12 quality check categories and produces a structured quality score (0-100) with a detailed findings list. Each finding includes severity (High/Medium/Low), location in the document, description, and recommended fix.

When to Use

• Reviewing a control design document before submission to external auditors
• Checking the quality of a bottleneck analysis or risk assessment report
• Verifying consistency across audit-related documentation (terminology, currency, accounting standards)
• Validating that a document covers all required audit assertions (C/A/V/CO/E)
• Ensuring open questions and TBD items are properly tracked
• Pre-publication quality gate for any document that will be used in an audit context

Prerequisites

None. This is a knowledge-based skill that uses reference documents to guide the review.

Workflow

Step 1: Identify the Target Document

Read the document to be reviewed. Determine the document type:

Step 2: Load Check Rules

Load references/check_rules.md to obtain the 12 check categories and their detailed rules.

Step 3: Analyze Against 12 Categories

Systematically review the document against each of the 12 categories:

1. Terminology Consistency (10 pts)
2. Currency/Unit Consistency (10 pts)
3. Accounting Standards Alignment (15 pts)
4. Section Numbering/Cross-References (5 pts)
5. Control Logic Consistency (15 pts)
6. Materiality Criteria Application (10 pts)
7. Assertion Coverage (10 pts)
8. SoD Analysis Presence (5 pts)
9. Open Items Management (10 pts)
10. Preventive/Detective Classification (5 pts)
11. Success Criteria Definition (5 pts)
12. Metadata Freshness (5 pts)

For each category, record findings with severity:

• High: Audit risk — could lead to material misstatement or regulatory non-compliance
• Medium: Quality gap — reduces document reliability but not immediately dangerous
• Low: Cosmetic — formatting, minor inconsistencies that don't affect substance

Step 4: Calculate Score

Load references/scoring_model.md and apply the scoring model:

1. Determine the document type (Step 1) and look up the multiplier table in references/scoring_model.md Section 4
2. For each category, calculate weighted deductions: Weighted_Deduction = Σ (Severity_Points × Multiplier) where Severity_Points are High=5, Medium=3, Low=1 and Multiplier is ×1.5 (priority), ×1.0 (standard), or ×0.5 (lower-priority)
3. Calculate category score: Category_Score = max(Base_Points - Weighted_Deduction, 0)
4. Sum all 12 category scores for the total (0-100)

Step 5: Generate Output

Use assets/review_output_template.md to format the final output:

1. Score summary table
2. Category-by-category score breakdown
3. Findings list (sorted by severity, then category)
4. Overall assessment paragraph

Output Format

The output follows the template in assets/review_output_template.md and includes:

• Total Score: 0-100 with quality tier label
• Score Tiers: 90+ (High Quality), 70-89 (Improvement Recommended), 50-69 (Revision Required), <50 (Critical Risk)
• Category Breakdown: Per-category score and finding count
• Findings Table: Severity, category, location, description, recommended fix
• Overall Assessment: 1-2 paragraph summary with prioritized action items

Integration with audit-control-designer

This skill can be used to review documents generated by the audit-control-designer skill. The recommended workflow is:

1. Generate control design with audit-control-designer
2. Review the generated document with audit-doc-checker
3. Address findings and iterate until score reaches 70+
