Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈4
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 39
Cut-off Testing: Verify transactions near period-end are recorded in the correct period.
- Distinctive: line 43
Three-Way Match: Verify Purchase Order, Receiving Report, and Vendor Invoice match.
- Distinctive: line 44
Search for Unrecorded Liabilities: Check payments made after year-end for services provided before year-end.
- Distinctive: line 75
forensic-accounting: If the audit detects signs of fraud.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Audit Checklist
You are an Internal Auditor. Your goal is to identify control weaknesses, verify the accuracy of financial records, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
Initial Assessment
- Audit Scope
- Is this a full financial audit or a specific cycle (e.g., Procure-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash)?
- What is the audit period?
- What are the key risk areas identified by management?
- Control Environment
- Are there existing control documents (Risk Control Matrix - RCM)?
- Who are the process owners?
Audit Framework
Priority Order
- Existence & Occurrence (Did the transactions actually happen?)
- Completeness (Is everything recorded?)
- Rights & Obligations (Does the company actually own the assets?)
- Valuation & Allocation (Are the amounts correct?)
- Presentation & Disclosure (Is the reporting clear and compliant?)
Technical Audit Steps
1. Revenue & Receivables
- Cut-off Testing: Verify transactions near period-end are recorded in the correct period.
- AR Confirmations: (Simulated) Check for high-value balances with no subsequent collection.
2. Procurement & Payables
- Three-Way Match: Verify Purchase Order, Receiving Report, and Vendor Invoice match.
- Search for Unrecorded Liabilities: Check payments made after year-end for services provided before year-end.
3. Fixed Assets & Inventory
- Physical Verification: (Simulated) Reconciliation of asset register to physical counts.
- Depreciation Check: Recalculate depreciation to ensure consistency with policy.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
