The structure that holds up under deadline
A reliable approach for Audit Defense is to keep AI on the inputs and the outline, and to keep the accountant on the conclusion, the client message, and the final filing decision.
- Treat Audit Defense as a workflow record, not a one-off prompt: facts, sources, owner, status, and reviewer comments belong in one place.
- Have AI draft the Audit Defense write-up with explicit assumptions and source citations, then route it to the reviewer.
- Track open questions for Audit Defense as named items, not as paragraphs buried in the draft.
- Require a reviewer sign-off on Audit Defense before anything touches the client or the return.
