The facts

Its description

Build the period-end accrual schedule — for each accrual, compute the entry, cite the support, and draft the JE. Use during month-end close; the JE is a draft for controller approval, not a posting.

The description the agent reads to decide when to use it.

From its settingsline 3

When it starts

The agent would pick this skill when someone is closing the books for a period and needs the period-end accruals worked out — the entry, the support behind it, and a draft journal entry. It is a month-end close task, and the output is explicitly a draft for controller sign-off rather than a posting.

Things a person might say (the model's guesses)

“We're closing March — here's our accrual policy list, build the accrual schedule for the entity.”
“I need the period-end accruals for the audit fee, bonus and utilities, with the support cited and the JEs drafted.”
“Can you put together the accrual schedule and draft journal entries for this period? Don't post anything.”

12## For each accrual on the policy list

14| Field | How to derive |

15|---|---|

16| **Accrual name** | From the policy list (e.g., "Audit fee", "Bonus", "Utilities") |

17| **Basis** | The contractual or estimated full-period amount, with source cited (engagement letter, comp plan, trailing-3-month average) |

18| **Period portion** | Basis × (days in period ÷ days in basis period), or the policy's specific formula |

19| **Already booked** | Sum of prior-period accruals + actual invoices posted this period for this item (from internal-gl MCP) |

20| **This-period accrual** | Period portion − already booked |

21| **Support reference** | Document id or GL query that backs the basis |

23## Draft JE

25For each row with a non-zero this-period accrual, draft:

27```

28Dr <expense account> <amount>

29 Cr <accrued liability> <amount>

30Memo: <accrual name> — <period> accrual per <support reference>

31```

33Reversing entries: if the policy marks the accrual as auto-reversing, note "reverses on day 1 of next period" in the memo.

Draft JE

For each row with a non-zero this-period accrual, draft:

Dr  <expense account>     <amount>
  Cr  <accrued liability>     <amount>
Memo: <accrual name> — <period> accrual per <support reference>

Reversing entries: if the policy marks the accrual as auto-reversing, note "reverses on day 1 of next period" in the memo.
