An ASC 606 Compliance Review in 60 Seconds | Vibe Accounting in Public - Day 11

How much do you pay for an ASC 606 compliance review? We just got one from our AI agent in 60 seconds.

It's Day 11 of Vibe Accounting and we gave our AI agent, Luca, a new challenge: act like an auditor. We asked it to review our revenue recognition rules for compliance.

Its response was brutally honest: we wouldn't pass an audit.

No softened language. No "it depends." Just a direct and factual assessment of our gaps. So I asked it how to fix it. Leveraging its training and the specific context of the business, it instantly generated a comprehensive multi-point recommendation plan to get us compliant.

This is a completely new paradigm for ensuring compliance. There’s a school of thought from some vendors that says you should just trust their team of CPAs to handle everything for you, like a sit back and relax approach.

Respectfully, I believe that outsources your most important job: understanding.

True accounting and finance professionals don't want a black box that asks for blind faith. They want tools that challenge them, force them to be better, and give them the power to achieve perfection themselves. Our AI agent acts like that brutally honest partner. It forces us to confront our flaws and then gives us the blueprint to fix them.

Of course, the ultimate next test is to review this AI-driven plan to a human CPA auditor as a confident demonstration of a system we understand and own, from end to end.
