Audit Book Writing and Review Skill

A systematic workflow for writing comprehensive audit books and conducting thorough reviews with quality assurance.

Quick Start

When user requests to write an audit book:

1. Initialize project with three core files:

- CLAUDE.md - Writing guidelines and terminology standards - IMPLEMENTATIONPLAN.md - Staged execution plan - bookdraft.md - Main book manuscript

1. Follow the 7-phase workflow (see [WORKFLOW.md](WORKFLOW.md))

1. Use standard templates (see [TEMPLATES.md](TEMPLATES.md))

1. Apply 4-round review process for quality assurance

Core Principles

Writing Style

• Use precise professional language: Audit terminology should be accurate and consistent
• Cite authoritative sources: Audit standards, laws and regulations, regulatory documents
• Every claim needs supporting evidence or references
• Balance academic rigor with practical applicability
• Maintain neutrality and objectivity

⚠️ DATA VERIFICATION PRINCIPLE (CRITICAL)

绝对禁止编造数据或引用材料

数据和法规引用的严格要求：

1. 法律法规引用：

- ✅ 必须使用法律法规库进行精准匹配查询 - ✅ 引用时必须注明法规名称、条款号、发布日期、生效日期 - ❌ 禁止编造或猜测法律条款内容 - ❌ 禁止引用不确定或未经核实的法规

1. 统计数据引用：

- ✅ 必须使用联网工具(WebSearch)查询并标注来源网址 - ✅ 标注数据发布机构和发布时间 - ❌ 禁止编造或估算统计数据 - ⚠️ 如无法查询到准确数据，必须标注："[待核实：该数据需要人工核对后补充]"

1. 案例数据引用：

- ✅ 案例中的公司名称、日期、金额等必须准确 - ✅ 来源于公开审计报告或监管文件 - ❌ 禁止编造案例或虚构事实

1. 标准和准则引用：

- ✅ 必须查阅标准原文或权威来源 - ✅ 注明标准号、条款号、适用范围 - ❌ 禁止凭记忆或推测引用

数据查询优先级：

优先级1：法律法规库 → 使用Grep在已转换的法规库中查询 优先级2：联网查询 → 使用WebSearch/WebFetch查询权威网站 优先级3：标注待核实 → 明确标注需要人工核对

查询工具使用规范：

# 法律法规查询（优先）
Grep -pattern "关键词" -path="D:\project\审计书籍撰写\法律法规库\*.md"

# 统计数据查询（必须标注来源）
WebSearch "统计关键词 年份" + "来源网站"

违规后果：

如发现编造数据或引用材料，整章节需要重新审核和修正。
