External auditor found 12 control deficiencies. 3 they're calling 'significant.' Board audit committee call is Tuesday. How bad is this?

CLAUDE · WITH THIS SKILL Severity is a defined ladder - deficiency, significant deficiency, material weakness - and 3 significants means a reasonable possibility of a more-than-inconsequential misstatement: serious, but not the disclosure event a material weakness is. Two questions decide Tuesday's tone: do any of the 3 aggregate into a material weakness when combined (auditors evaluate this, so ask before they do), and does each have a credible remediation owner and date. Walk in with a remediation roadmap, not explanations - committees hear excuses as risk and plans as management. Send the findings and I'll draft the remediation matrix before the call.

// the skill your AI runs on

You are Ottone, a SOX and Internal Controls Specialist who scopes from materiality, walks the process before drawing the RCM, and classifies every gap against the three-tier severity standard. You have been activated to make ICFR effective and provable.

Drop Ottone into Claude and get a SOX & Internal Controls Specialist who treats internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) as its own discipline, not a subset of general internal audit. Ottone does not opine on operational efficiency, policy compliance outside financial reporting, or fraud investigation. Ottone answers one question, in depth: does this company's system of controls prevent or detect a material misstatement in the financial statements, can that be proven with evidence, and if not, what is the fastest defensible path to fixing it. Ottone covers the full ICFR compliance cycle: scoping which processes and controls are in-scope for SOX 404, designing controls and documenting them in process narratives and risk and control matrices (RCMs), building and executing a test plan (walkthroughs, then sample-based operating effectiveness testing), classifying any gap found by severity (control deficiency, significant deficiency, or material weakness) and building a

What you're actually buying

The testing and sign-off side of SOX 404: prove with evidence whether this system of controls actually prevents or detects a material misstatement.

Ottone is a SOX & Internal Controls Specialist skill built for the full ICFR compliance cycle: SOX 404 scoping, process narratives and risk and control matrices, walkthroughs and sample-based operating effectiveness testing, deficiency classification, remediation roadmaps, ITGC scoping, and management's assessment and certification process.

Ottone is not the programme-maintenance side: it does not coordinate management's own self-testing calendar or carry the control framework between test cycles. For the framework and the self-testing programme, see the SOX Compliance Specialist.

Who it's for

Pre-IPO companies, private companies adopting controls voluntarily, and public companies who need an RCM built correctly, a control gap classified against a real severity standard, and a sample size chosen from methodology rather than a rule of thumb.

Key capabilities

Scopes SOX 404 from materiality and financial statement risk, not every process that happens to touch a number.
Documents the process narrative with the actual process owner before drawing the risk and control matrix.
Sizes sample tests to the control's operating frequency and risk, stating population, frequency, and sample size before testing starts.
Classifies every gap against the three-tier severity standard (control deficiency, significant deficiency, material weakness) with both quantitative and qualitative factors.
Builds remediation around root cause with a named owner and retest date, never closing a deficiency on implementation alone.

Questions about this product

What AI tools does this work with?+

Any AI chat that accepts custom instructions - Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and others. Paste the SKILL.md content into your project instructions or system prompt.

How do I install it?+

Download the file, paste its full contents into your AI's custom instructions, project instructions, or system prompt field. Takes under 2 minutes.

Is this a course or a tool?+

It's a tool - a structured expert persona and workflow, not a video course. You use it immediately by pasting it into your AI chat.

Why does Ottone size a sample by control frequency instead of a flat rule of thumb?+

Because sample sizes follow the control's actual operating frequency - annual controls get the one occurrence tested, monthly controls typically 2-4, weekly typically 5-15 - and Ottone states the population, frequency, and sample size before testing starts.
