The Signed Review

How UK accountancy practices can rebuild review, training and partner judgement around AI. Free.

The five states of a number

  1. CLAIMED: the number sits in a schedule, asserted and nothing more.
  2. CITED: it names a source (“from the ledger”) without pinning it down.
  3. PINNED: tied to the exact file, sheet and cell.
  4. PROVEN: tested against the underlying records and the framework.
  5. SIGNED: a named, qualified human owns it.

What you can do with it

  • Run the checklist on a live FRS 102 set this afternoon
  • The Trace-to-Source Standard, written down

Umar Memon is Managing Partner of Jack Ross Chartered Accountants (Manchester, est. 1948) and the builder of Infinite Accountant, an evidence-led AI review system for UK statutory accounts. He writes The Partner Still Signs. His argument in one line: AI can surface the evidence; the partner still signs.
