It is given a list of transactions as an input. If it misses one or more of them, that will be noticeable immediately. In the VAT return, one can see if something is missing very easily if the numbers do not align.

Sure! In classic accounting firms you'd typically have one accountant doing the books and then the other reviewing the first accountant's work. Given the model's accuracy (and models will only get better), only by automating the "doing" and keeping a human to do the review part we will already shave huge amount of time and costs without risking the compliance part.

Thanks, that's useful! We did use ChatGPT 5.5 for some time and it did perform pretty well too (of course more expensive than GLM 5.2). We tried Claude 4.7 and 4.8, but we found both models to be "lazy" and very expensive. Claude would always rather prefer the route of saying that the evidence was not found or something is incomplete, rather than put more effort into finding/repairing the particular issue.
