## Checking plan

**Check every line**

Verify every populated entry against its source and confirm interests or changes not apparent from the documents. Use the current FCFCOA Financial Statement and applicable disclosure rules. Non-compliance can lead to procedural consequences, costs or contempt sanctions; do not treat every extraction error as a new standalone criminal offence.

- What the AI does: Extract permitted financial information into a draft of the current form, retaining a source reference for each figure and leaving gaps unresolved.
- What the lawyer does: Make the legal assessment, check the source material and authorise the output for its intended use.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects the consequence of an error and the amount of independent review the described output needs.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Obtain the correct current form for the actual court and proceeding.
2. Verify each entry and amount against its source and independently check calculations.
3. Confirm direct and indirect interests, liabilities, income and relevant changes with the client; investigate missing records.
4. Check the required supporting disclosure and the final signed or sworn document before filing.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. The cited court, tribunal or scheme requirements apply only within their stated scope.
