An accounting paraprofessional with AP/AR and bank reconciliation experience lacks deeper understanding of accounting terms, financial statements, and auditing processes, relying on automated reports and asking auditors for guidance.

Workarounds Described

• asks auditors what they need instead of understanding requests independently
• generates automatic reports from UBS without understanding underlying figures
• asks where specific figures come from on financial statements

Implied Software Gaps

• Integrated on-demand explanation of accounting terminology and financial statement components
• Audit request interpretation assistant that clarifies what auditors are asking for
