Course Learning Objectives

After completing this course, participants will be able to: 

  1. Build a local Journal Explorer with an AI assistant, the supplied workbooks, and a structured prompt.
  2. Review postings using context-sensitive filters, Matching lines and Complete journals modes, and journal-level notes.
  3. Validate and improve the tool through hands-on tests and a focused corrective prompt that preserves working functions.
  4. Continue a recurring review through complete export, reimport, overlapping-month replacement, and new-month addition.
  5. Interpret unusual posting patterns as review leads requiring accounting context and supporting evidence.
  6. Prepare a safe company customization request, edit the relevant sections, and confirm proposed mappings before development.

What you will do

  1. Build the Journal Explorer with one ready-made prompt and the course data.
  2. Check it: the AI tests all functions and writes a test log, and you run the few checks only you can do.
  3. Improve it with a second prompt that adds new functions.
  4. Find eleven accounting issues in the course journals with your new tool.
  5. Adapt it safely to your own company’s journal exports.

What your tool will do

  • Import a journal export from Excel and start reviewing immediately.
  • Filter by period, account, document type, partner, journal ID, business unit, cost centre or note—and combine filters without writing a single formula.
  • Switch from the matching lines to the complete journal, with every counter-entry in place.
  • Keep one review note per journal, visible wherever that journal line appears.
  • Chart one account’s monthly Debit, Credit and Net movement combined with active filters.
  • Export all data to Excel and reimport it later to continue your work.
  • Upload revised journals to replace an existing month, or add journals for a new month.
