Trust Ledger Guardian Agent

Monitors trust accounting controls and missing reconciliation evidence, so commingling risk and audit gaps surface early instead of at audit time.

The Problem

Trust accounting risks hide until an audit finds them.

Trust accounting gaps are discovered during audits, not before. Commingling risk is invisible.

What Changes

Controls monitored, missing evidence flagged early.

Monitors trust accounting controls and flags missing reconciliation evidence in real time. Catches the gaps before the auditor does.

Humans stay in control: Your controller owns trust accounting and fixes issues. The agent monitors and flags. It removes the blind spots, not the responsibility.

The agent doesn't manage the trust account. It monitors controls and flags gaps. Your controller investigates and corrects.

WHAT YOUR TEAM PROVIDES ONCE

Trust data access - balances, ledgers, reconciliations
Required controls - the checks trust accounting must pass
Evidence rules - what reconciliation proof is required
Risk ranking - what exposure matters most
Alert routing - who receives findings

What happens day-to-day: The agent periodically checks the trust controls, reconciliations current, no commingling signals, evidence on file, and flags gaps with their risk. Your controller fixes issues on a schedule instead of discovering them when an auditor does.

WITHOUT PMS API

Agent reads exported reconciliations and flags gaps against the control list. The monitoring logic still runs.

WITH PMS API

Agent reads live trust data and reconciliations and flags control gaps early. Best experience.

For the person who wants to build this agent step by step. Each node below maps to an n8n workflow node.

TRIGGERNode 1

Trigger - Scheduled Check

Cron (e.g. weekly) over trust accounts.

Output: { run_date, trust_accounts[] }

APINode 2

HTTP Request - Pull Trust Data

Get balances, ledger entries, and latest reconciliations.

Output: { balances, reconciliations, transactions }

LLMNode 3

LLM - Check Controls

Test each required control and flag failures or missing evidence.

Output: [{ control, status, gap, evidence_present }]

You check trust accounting controls.

For each control in REQUIRED CONTROLS, test against the data. Return:
- control, status (pass/fail), gap (one line if fail), evidence_present (true/false)
Flag any sign of commingling or unreconciled balances.
Respond ONLY with a valid JSON array.

REQUIRED CONTROLS: {required_controls}
TRUST DATA: {trust_data}

OUTPUT

[
  { "control": "monthly reconciliation complete", "status": "fail", "gap": "May reconciliation not on file", "evidence_present": false },
  { "control": "no operating funds in trust", "status": "pass", "gap": null, "evidence_present": true }
]

DECISIONNode 4

Condition - Gap Found?

IF any control fails or evidence is missing → rank and alert. ELSE → log all-clear.

Output: Branch: GAP (rank + alert) or CLEAN (log)

LLMNode 5

LLM - Rank Risk

Order gaps by audit and compliance exposure.

Output: [{ rank, control, exposure, action }]

You rank trust control gaps by exposure.
Return a JSON array ordered by exposure (commingling and unreconciled balances highest), each with rank, control, exposure, action.
GAPS: {gaps}

OUTPUT

[
  { "rank": 1, "control": "monthly reconciliation complete", "exposure": "high", "action": "Complete and file the May reconciliation before next audit window." }
]

ACTIONNode 6

Alert Controller

Send the ranked findings to the controller and log them for the audit trail.

Output: Controller alerted; findings logged.
