Optimizing Spending Audits: Ops AI Prompts

An audit notice usually makes people nervous. This template flips the script: it's not about 'policing,' it's about 'optimizing.' By framing the audit as an opportunity to clean up processes and ensure everyone has the budget they need, you get cooperation instead of defensiveness.
