Supply five explicit booleans for accounting/audit experience, financial-reporting oversight, internal-control experience, audit-committee understanding and governance experience. Count true criteria and return false criteria's labels in that fixed order. financialExpert is true only if all five are true. This field is an internal checklist result: these labels do not reproduce the SEC's legal definition or establish a regulatory designation.
criteriaMet=count(true); financialExpert=all five true; unmetCriteria=labels of false inputs Use the stated ordering, units and branch conditions.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| criteriaMet | Number of true caller-provided criteria, without independent verification. | number |
| financialExpert | True only for all five internal flags; not an SEC financial-expert designation. | boolean |
| unmetCriteria | Fixed-order labels of criteria supplied as false. | array of string |

}Limitations and assumptions
The result summarizes supplied audit observations under the stated arithmetic or checklist rule. It does not inspect underlying documents, select sufficient audit evidence, make a professional assurance judgment or establish regulatory compliance. Empty or all-true input can describe only the recorded assertions.
Supply explicit values and dense aligned arrays. Unexpected fields, wrong types and nonfinite scalar values are rejected; fixed-token, alignment and other branch conditions are explained above. A successful false flag, empty match list or unknown-evidence list differs from an input error. Extremely large inputs or nonrepresentable results may fail.
The SEC definition identifies specific accounting, financial-statement and committee attributes and how they may be acquired. This tool’s five labels differ from that definition, so an all-true result cannot establish a regulatory designation.2
