The questions to take to your accountant

The organizer · What’s possible · F0

A structured question list and document checklist — so the hour with your CA is spent on answers, not on working out the questions.

Why this matters for your role

A faculty discussion: which parts of learning should AI support, and which must students demonstrate independently?

Your worked example

Synthetic faculty meeting notes: Asha will draft the teaching timetable by Friday. Ravi will check room availability. The next meeting date and the room-check deadline were not agreed.

Put it into practice

Create an action table with owner, task and deadline. Mark missing details “not stated”. Draft a follow-up email for human review; do not send it or invent dates.

Practise with a synthetic example. Do not upload identifiable patient information. Check every factual claim and source before considering any real-world use.

The questions to take to your accountant

Help me prepare for a meeting with my chartered accountant about setting up a practice in India. This is a practice exercise. You are not giving me legal, tax or financial advice, and I will confirm everything with a qualified professional. My situation: [DESCRIBE — solo or partnership, city, whether you are salaried elsewhere, rough scale] Produce: 1. A structured list of questions to ask my CA, grouped by registration and licensing, tax, employment, insurance, and records I must keep. 2. For each question, one line on why it matters, so I understand the answer when I get it. 3. A document checklist to take to the meeting. 4. A list of the decisions I must make myself before the meeting, because nobody can make them for me. 5. Everything in this area that changes by state or by council, which I must therefore verify locally. Do not give me answers, amounts, rates or thresholds. Give me the questions. End with a short section titled "Your check" listing what I must verify myself before using any of this.

Synthetic practice example. Run it as-is and check the output against the supplied facts.

Your check

Every answer comes from your CA, not from here. Anything the model states as fact about rates, thresholds or registration should be treated as a question to ask.

Not legal, tax or financial advice. Regulations vary by state and council and change frequently; verify everything with a qualified professional.
