What goes in
- Tally Prime running on the user's computer
- AutoFS Chrome extension
- Selected entity and financial year
- Excel or CSV Trial Balance, when used instead
Start a pull in AutoFS and the Chrome extension connects to Tally Prime on the user's computer. The selected Trial Balance and ledger data are sent to the chosen financial year; Excel or CSV remains an alternate upload path.

| Trial Balance | Debit and credit rows | Received |
| Ledger detail | Selected financial year | Received |
| Source record | Time and source metadata | Recorded |
The financial year, entity and source are selected before the data enters preparation, so the engagement starts with an attributable source rather than an anonymous spreadsheet copy.

Explore step 02A balanced Trial Balance is a starting control, not a conclusion. Exceptions stay visible and must be dealt with before downstream classifications can be relied on.
Explore step 03A suggestion is not an accounting conclusion. The mapping record preserves the firm's decision and the review trail behind each classification.
Explore step 04Financial statements need more than mapped balances. Material judgments, schedules and disclosures remain explicit, reviewable and connected to their support.
Explore step 05A visible hand-off prevents review from becoming an undocumented conversation. Open issues, decisions and the responsible people stay with the engagement.
Explore step 06The issued pack should identify exactly what was approved. Locking and hashing make later changes visible while the evidence index keeps the reviewed support with the output.

Professional boundary: AutoFS supports preparation, evidence and controlled review for eligible Non-Corporate Entities. Applicability, accounting judgments, approval, signature and the UDIN obtained from ICAI remain the firm's responsibility.
