ASK ACCOUNTING QUESTIONS

Ask accounting questions with the context, sources and review they require.

Use Kriton™ to explore accounting, tax, audit, payroll, compliance, finance, reporting and learning questions through source-backed explanations, visible assumptions and safe next steps.

Boundary — Kriton™ supports understanding and professional judgment. It does not replace qualified advice, filings, approvals or required human review.

SUPPORTED INTENTS

Governed question types.

Each intent maps to a distinct output type — explanation, comparison, evidence trace, checklist or structured follow-through. Selecting an intent before asking helps Kriton™ calibrate source scope, answer shape and review guidance.

Explain

“Explain why materiality affects the level of review in this synthetic scenario.”

Boundary — Explanation is general information and must show source and applicability context.

Prepare questions

“Prepare questions for a qualified reviewer about this synthetic policy choice.”

Boundary — Do not impersonate or replace the reviewer.

Team debating an accounting question together
Identify missing context

“What facts would change the accounting analysis for this synthetic arrangement?”

Boundary — Do not infer missing facts as certain.

Structure follow-through

“Turn the unresolved points into a review-ready issue list.”

Boundary — No consequential action executes from this page.

ACCOUNTING CONTEXT

The context that changes an accounting answer.

Accounting answers are not universal. Framework, jurisdiction, entity, period, purpose, policy and source scope can all shift what is applicable, supportable or required. Kriton™ keeps these visible — never silently assumed.

Task / professional purpose

Learning, research, close, audit preparation, tax review and policy work carry different controls.

Purpose selector and mode route.

Internal policy may constrain available treatments or workflow.

Authorized source / policy chip and access disclosure.

Source scope

Determines the authority and completeness of the answer.

ANSWER ANATOMY

What a governed answer contains.

A governed answer is not a response. It is a versioned artifact with a state, visible context, claim-linked evidence, explicit assumptions, limitations and a safe next action — all available for qualified review.

Recognition period: long-term service vs. point-in-time delivery

Framework: IFRS 15Period: FY2024Intent: ExplainSources: 3 approvedAssumptions: 2 explicit
DIRECT RESPONSE

Under IFRS 15, an entity recognizes revenue when — or as — it satisfies a performance obligation. For the synthetic long-term service arrangement, recognition occurs over time where the entity's performance creates or enhances an asset the customer controls as it is created. [1]

The point-in-time arrangement differs because the performance obligation is satisfied at a single moment — typically when control of a distinct good or service transfers to the customer. [2]

ASSUMPTIONS

Synthetic arrangement assumed to meet the IFRS 15 “distinct” criterion.

No variable consideration or significant financing component assumed.

Boundary — This output supports understanding and review; it is not a filing, audit opinion, certification or substitute for qualified professional judgment.

NEVER COLOR-ONLY

Every state uses icon, text and color together. Screen readers receive the state label as text. No reliance on color alone to convey meaning.

SOURCE AUTHORITY

Source controls that govern every answer.

A source badge in a Kriton™ answer must support an identifiable part of the response. Citations are not decorative. Status, effective date and applicability travel with every source reference.

Advisor reviewing source documentation on a tablet

Source identity

Human-readable source title, publisher / owner and source type where permitted.

Authority

Why the source is relevant or authoritative; no unapproved internal rankings.

Version / effective date

Publication, effective, retrieved or last-reviewed dates as applicable.

Applicability

Framework, jurisdiction, entity, period, task and policy scope where relevant.

Status

Current, superseded, withdrawn, restricted, under review or unavailable.

Conflict

Conflicting relevant sources surfaced; qualified decision route offered.

Coverage gap

Stated when available sources do not support part of the answer.

Locator integrity

Links to page, section, paragraph or approved locator where available; no decorative citation.

FOLLOW-UP & CONTINUITY

Context persists. Material changes are visible.

Follow-up questions inherit confirmed context and source scope. When a follow-up changes material context, a visible change summary appears and a new answer version is created — prior versions preserved.

Clarify a term

Answer within existing context and source scope; inherited context shown.

Change framework / jurisdiction

Treated as a material context change; change summary generated, new answer version created.

Compare alternative

Structured comparison using same material facts; no final choice without review requirement.

Challenge a source

Source status, alternative evidence and issue-report route shown; challenge not suppressed.

Ask for action

Routed to Workflow Mode or approved product control; no autonomous filing, payment or approval.

SAVE, COPY & EXPORT

Limitations travel with the answer.

Consequential content is never exported stripped of its context, evidence or professional-boundary statement.

Save answer

Version, context, source scope, evidence, assumptions, limitations and review status preserved.

Copy

Default: “Copy with context and limitations” for consequential content.

Export

Title, timestamp, version, context, evidence, limitations and review status in approved formats.

Create review package

Question, material context, answer, evidence, conflicts and requested decision bundled.

Share internally

Authorized recipients, permission preview, expiry / access rules and attributable event.

HUMAN REVIEW & ESCALATION

A structured review packet routes to an authorized qualified reviewer — not a generic support queue.

PRIVACY & ENTERPRISE CONTROLS

Minimum necessary data. Administrator-governed access.

Every public demonstration uses synthetic identifiers and generalized descriptions. Enterprise deployments apply role, workspace and tenant isolation. Admin configuration cannot remove statutory professional responsibility.

DATA & PRIVACY REQUIREMENTS

Pre-entry guidance

Users are told not to enter unnecessary names, account numbers, credentials, employee data, client identifiers or confidential details before beginning a question.

Minimum necessary

Request only facts that materially affect the answer; prefer generalized descriptions over specific identifiers.

Sensitive-data detection

Credential-like, highly sensitive or policy-restricted content warned or blocked without exposure to marketing analytics.

Tenant isolation

Cross-tenant content, metadata or source existence is never exposed, inferred or indexed.

Analytics boundaries

No raw question, answer, attachment, evidence or personal data enters marketing analytics events. State categories only.

Public demo

Synthetic data only. No upload or use of real client, employee, taxpayer or confidential transaction records.

Enterprise team reviewing governed documentation

Admin configuration cannot convert Kriton™ into a licensed professional or remove statutory responsibility from qualified individuals.

SYNTHETIC SCENARIOS

Governed question behavior in practice.

All scenarios use fictional entities, generalized facts and non-sensitive values. No real client data, personal information or confidential filings appear in any public demonstration.
