Recorded, never verified
Software takes whatever it's given. The unbalanced voucher survives until an auditor finds it. In March.
Auditor's Eye
The March checklist,
run every morning.
An auditor doesn't ask if the books were entered. They ask if the books can be defended. That question is asked of your ledger daily — not once a year.
The problem
Books get entered.
They never get verified.
Compliance lives in someone's head
Input credit. TDS thresholds. 2B mismatches. Miss one, and the penalty arrives long after the fix was cheap.
Your CA does data entry
The most expensive person in the room retypes invoices — instead of telling you whether the business is okay.
The whole idea
Built on an auditor's eye.
An auditor doesn't ask if the books were entered. They ask if the books can be defended. So the checklist they'd run in March runs here every morning.

Non-negotiables
Six rules the ledger
will not break.
Not features. Constraints. It's the only reason an Ai belongs near your books.
Balance is enforced
Debits ≠ credits, the voucher is rejected. There is no path around it. Not even for Mark.
Void, never delete
Corrections are reversals with a trail. Nothing ever vanishes.
Every action is attributable
Who, when, from which document, on whose approval. Including Mark's own.
Confidence is shown
If Mark isn't sure, it says so. Low confidence goes to review, not to your books.
The close can't be skipped
No period closes while exceptions are still open. The checklist is sequenced.
A human still signs
Liability does not transfer to software. Your CA signs — Mark just makes that review take minutes, not days.
