Test whether appropriate human review and approval occurred before financial adjustments were posted.
Review segregation of duties between solution developers, Finance preparers, reviewers, and posting approvers.
Evaluate access controls, override capabilities, privileged access, and activity logging.
Review AI performance monitoring, including false positives, false negatives, overrides, and unsuccessful recommendations.
Test change-management controls over rules, prompts, workflows, models, and system configurations.
Document audit procedures, evidence, exceptions, and conclusions in accordance with internal audit standards.
Support issue validation, root-cause analysis, and discussions with Finance, Technology, Controllers, and AI governance stakeholders.
