## Scope

An assurance review for Australia's Department of Employment and Workplace Relations by a Big Four firm's consulting practice — professional-services output, not bookkeeping. Corrected report issued 26 Sep 2025; the repaid instalment was later put at about A$97,000 (CFO Dive, 21 Oct 2025). Bears on who owns machine-drafted output, not on accounting tasks directly.
