# AI for financial advisers: prepare the records for a client review

A review meeting is approaching, but one statement covers a different period and a client request has no recorded follow-up. The adviser needs a clear packet that shows both the available evidence and its gaps.
AI can organise the requested documents by period and bring unanswered administrative requests into the meeting agenda. The adviser receives a packet with visible gaps and remains responsible for investment advice and suitability.

## Illustrative example (fictional)

The owner's request: What should be clarified before the review?

Information provided:
- Fictional client FA-2 has a statement for quarter 1.
- The review checklist requests quarter 2; the uploaded filename does not show the period.

Example result: The checked document covers quarter 1. The filename alone does not establish that quarter 2 was supplied, so the period needs confirmation.

The next step: The adviser requests or verifies the relevant statement.

## Index the requested material

Use the adviser's case-specific request list and record the source, date and period of each item. Keep old and replacement versions traceable. A recent upload is not necessarily a recent statement, and a missing document should not be replaced by an assumed figure.


## Track outstanding administrative requests

List requests such as a missing form or unanswered meeting question with their recorded owner and next action. Do not translate administrative status into a conclusion about the client's finances or intentions. Sensitive details should stay in the appropriate controlled record.


## Prepare the meeting agenda

Group the checked documents, their periods and open client questions into a pre-meeting agenda for the adviser. Identify which figures come from verified records and which are client statements still to be checked.

No. This workflow prepares administrative evidence for an adviser-led review.

### Does a complete packet establish suitability?

No. Suitability and advice require the appropriate professional process.

This is an older example of preparing and reviewing an initial plan, not evidence of the complete process for a recurring review. Use only its administrative elements, without investment recommendations. (2026-11-04)
