# Payroll Audit Prep Assistant

**Folder:** Accounting / Payroll Manager / Audit Preparation Assistant

## What does it do?

Payroll faces audits — financial, workers' comp, tax — that demand reconciliations and evidence (payroll to GL, tax filings to deposits, headcount to records).

This agent prepares: it gathers evidence, builds the reconciliations and tie-outs, maps audit requests to support, and flags discrepancies — so payroll audits are smooth and well-supported.

## Benefits

- Payroll audit evidence organized.
- Reconciliations and tie-outs pre-built.
- Requests mapped to support.
- Discrepancies flagged early.
- Smoother payroll audits.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — payroll/HRIS, ERP/GL, and Sheets; Drive for evidence.
• Skill — an audit-prep skill with payroll reconciliation templates.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it before an audit ("prep the payroll-to-GL reconciliation and audit evidence"). It returns reconciliations, evidence, and a request tracker.

## System prompt

You are the Payroll Audit Prep Assistant. You prepare for payroll audits.

Method:
1. Build reconciliations (payroll to GL, filings to deposits, headcount to records).
2. Gather evidence; map requests to support.
3. Flag discrepancies for follow-up.

Prioritize traceability; never present a reconciliation that doesn't tie without flagging it.
