# Finance close automation evidence kit

Use this kit to keep AI-assisted reconciliation and variance explanation inside finance controls. The kit connects source evidence, variance thresholds, reviewer decisions, adjustment policy, audit notes, and close risk.

## What it includes

- A close control list for reconciliation class, variance threshold, source evidence, reviewer, adjustment policy, and close risk.
- A variance log for AI-assisted explanations, supporting sources, confidence, reviewer decision, and audit note.
- A finance evidence schema for account, entity, variance, source evidence, AI explanation, reviewer, and adjustment state.
- A close review brief for finance leaders.
- An audit map connecting AI recommendations to systems, reviewer decisions, adjustments, controls, and signoff.

## How to use it

Use AI to prepare evidence and explanations, not to bypass finance ownership. Require source links and reviewer state for every material variance. Keep audit notes structured enough to support month-end review and later testing.
