A set of procedures and workpaper templates for testing internal financial controls under SOX 404, a US requirement for checking controls over financial reporting. It covers sample selection, test documentation, and control deficiency assessment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test revenue, purchasing, payroll, financial close, treasury, inventory, fixed-asset, and IT general controls.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to document whether financial controls operated as intended. This reduces the effort of organising evidence for internal or external review.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sox-testing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SOX Compliance Testing

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md (.forgecat/profiles/@forgecat/anthropics_knowledge-work-plugins_finance/CONNECTORS.md).

Important: This command assists with SOX compliance workflows but does not provide audit or legal advice. All testing workpapers and assessments should be reviewed by qualified financial professionals before use in audit documentation.

Generate sample selections, create testing workpapers, document control assessments, and provide testing templates for SOX 404 internal controls over financial reporting.

Usage

/sox <control-area> <period>

Arguments

  • control-area — The control area to test:
    • revenue-recognition — Revenue cycle controls (order-to-cash)
    • procure-to-pay or p2p — Procurement and AP controls (purchase-to-pay)
    • payroll — Payroll processing and compensation controls
    • financial-close — Period-end close and reporting controls
    • treasury — Cash management and treasury controls
    • fixed-assets — Capital asset lifecycle controls
    • inventory — Inventory valuation and management controls
    • itgc — IT general controls (access, change management, operations)
    • entity-level — Entity-level and monitoring controls
    • journal-entries — Journal entry processing controls
    • Any specific control ID or name
  • period — The testing period (e.g., 2024-Q4, 2024, 2024-H2)

Workflow

1. Identify Controls to Test

Based on the control area, identify the key controls. Present the control matrix:

Control # Control Description Type Frequency Key/Non-Key Risk Assertion
[ID] [Description] Manual/Automated/IT-Dependent Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly/Annual Key High/Medium/Low [CEAVOP]

Control types:

  • Automated: System-enforced controls with no manual intervention
  • Manual: Controls performed by personnel with judgment
  • IT-dependent manual: Manual controls that rely on system-generated data

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
