Semantiv Request Review

Case 03

Finance / Accounting Operations

A finance automation company has agents that reconcile transactions, classify expenses, prepare reports, draft journal entries, route approvals, and update finance systems.

Evidence requirements, authority checks, and audit-ready decision records before agents modify systems of record.

01 Situation

Where Semantiv helps.

Semantiv controls finance-agent actions before they modify systems of record. The agent can propose work, but postings and approvals require evidence and authority.

The team wants more automation, but every posting, approval, adjustment, and report change must survive audit.
