Finance North Star Vision Audit

Finance Decision Operating System Audit

This is the master credibility audit for functional and technology workshops. It tests whether the platform behaves like a finance decision operating system rather than a collection of agent pages.

Ultimate test: any executive signal must drill through Signal -> Agent -> Policy -> Evidence -> Decision -> Action -> Outcome -> Replay. If a step is missing, the North Star vision is not fully credible.

North Star Audit Domains

Domain	Leadership question	Required proof	Proof route	Status
Agent Audit	Can leadership immediately see what agents exist, who owns them, what they can do, and what they cannot do?	Agent identity, owner, purpose, version, scope, runtime status, SOR access, allowed actions, denied actions, and collaboration trace.	/ui/bp-agent-inventory	Ready
Policy Audit	Can every recommendation explain which financial, compliance, or AI policy was applied?	Policy name, version, owner, reason triggered, decision outcome, violation, escalation, override, and audit trail.	/ui/policy-library	Ready
Context Audit	Can the system show business meaning and object relationships behind a signal?	Vendor, customer, contract, invoice, journal, cost center, asset, project, shipment, trading position, and relationship graph.	/ui/context-graph	Ready
Evidence Audit	Can a reviewer answer where the number came from and which records support the decision?	Source systems, source records, documents, policies, model inputs, evidence pack, lineage, confidence, and outcome.	/ui/evidence	Ready
Replay Audit	Can the original signal, context, policy, recommendation, action, and outcome be reconstructed?	Replay timeline, deterministic chain, original inputs, original outputs, evidence hash, policy result, and human decision.	/ui/replay-center	Ready
Continuous Close Audit	Can close readiness change continuously as journals, reconciliations, controls, and exceptions change?	Readiness score, open exceptions, missing journals, missing reconciliations, predicted close date, confidence, and drivers.	/ui/continuous-close-intelligence	Ready
Decision Intelligence Audit	Can any signal become an evidence-backed recommendation with reason, impact, confidence, and alternatives?	Signal, category, priority, recommendation reason, impact, confidence, evidence, and scenario simulation.	/ui/live-signals	Ready
Autonomy Audit	Can the system show what is autonomous, what is human-approved, and where agents must stop?	Autonomy boundaries, escalation path, human approval, override reason, action authorization, and blocked action trace.	/ui/bp-agent-governance-replay-control-tower	Ready
Learning Audit	Can outcomes and overrides become governed learning without uncontrolled model drift?	Decision memory, outcome, override, learning candidate, before/after signal, promotion gate, rollback, and lineage.	/ui/replay-learning-evolution	Ready
CFO Command Center Audit	Can the executive surface answer what changed, why, impact, recommendation, automation, and value created?	Signal feed, context, financial impact, recommendations, autonomy opportunities, value attribution, and drill-through path.	/ui/cfo-command-center	Ready

Finance Mission Audit

Mission	Must verify	Mission route	Status
P2P	Duplicate detection, invoice matching, supplier risk, spend leakage, working-capital impact.	/ui/mission/p2p	Route check
O2C	Credit risk, collections, disputes, exposure limits, expected loss, and cash impact.	/ui/mission/o2c	Route check
R2R	Journal anomalies, intercompany issues, reconciliation issues, close readiness, and controls.	/ui/mission/r2r	Route check
FP&A	Forecast generation, variance explanation, scenario simulation, assumptions, and executive narrative.	/ui/mission/fpa	Route check
Treasury	Cash forecasting, liquidity risk, exposure monitoring, counterparty posture, and policy limits.	/ui/mission/treasury	Route check
Tax	Tax determination, VAT/GST, withholding, transfer pricing, Pillar Two, and evidence defense.	/ui/mission/tax-supervisor	Route check
Controls	SOX monitoring, policy breaches, segregation of duties, authority matrix, and preventive controls.	/ui/policy-library	Route check
CFO	Enterprise signals, impact, recommendations, autonomy, value attribution, and replayable decisions.	/ui/cfo-command-center	Route check

Executive Drill-Through Chain

Step	What must be visible	Proof route
Signal	What changed, source, timestamp, severity, correlation id.	/ui/live-signals
Agent	Agent identity, owner, version, purpose, scope, skills, and runtime status.	/ui/bp-agent-inventory
Policy	Policy name, version, owner, trigger reason, violation, escalation, and override.	/ui/policy-library
Evidence	Source records, documents, policies, models, confidence, and lineage.	/ui/evidence
Decision	Recommendation, reason, impact, confidence, alternatives, and owner.	/ui/active-decisions
Action	Allowed action, denied action, human approval, execution boundary, and payload.	/ui/bp-agent-governance-replay-control-tower
Outcome	Business impact, value attribution, exception closure, and human outcome.	/ui/bp-agent-governance-replay-control-tower
Replay	Original inputs, context, evidence, policy, agent outputs, action, outcome, and learning.	/ui/replay-center

Autonomy Boundary Audit

Action	Autonomy posture	Control reason
Invoice match	Autonomous within policy	Evidence complete and match confidence above threshold.
Draft journal	Agent drafted / human approved	Posting remains outside autonomous boundary.
Journal post	Not autonomous	Controller approval and ERP posting controls required.
Treasury transfer	Not autonomous	Treasury authority, sanctions, liquidity, and human approval required.
Vendor master change	Not autonomous	Master-data governance and segregation controls required.
Credit exposure block	Human-approved action	Credit policy and exposure threshold drive escalation.

Injection Scenarios To Demonstrate Live

Scenario	Expected behavior	Proof route
Credit exceeds limit	Agent blocks recommendation, notifies supervisor, records policy and evidence.	/ui/mission/o2c
Late journal posted	Close readiness recalculates, controller notified, replay generated.	/ui/continuous-close-intelligence
Duplicate invoice received	Signal, evidence pack, duplicate policy, payment hold recommendation.	/ui/mission/p2p
Forecast shock	Drivers, scenario comparison, recommendation, and executive narrative.	/ui/mission/fpa
Liquidity stress	Cash forecast, exposure, policy boundary, and treasury action recommendation.	/ui/mission/treasury
