How it works

From contract to sign-off

Govirn finds the accounting decisions inside the contract, ties every answer to the exact clause it came from, and prepares the review for Controller sign-off.

One B2B software contract: a licence, an implementation and a year of support, priced together.

Illustrative workflow

It finds what matters.

Licence, implementation, support — the handful of terms that actually change the accounting, pulled out of the contract package.

Every answer points at a clause.

No answer stands on its own. Each one carries the page, the section and the ASC 606 guidance behind it — so “why” is already written.

Your Controller signs it.

Govirn prepares the accounting review and proposes the answers. A named person reviews, decides and signs off. Nothing files itself.

The record

The output is the thing Finance can defend later.

The approved record preserves what the team saw, why the answer was accepted, which period it affects, and who owned the judgment.

CapturedThe answers, rationale, period impact and selected evidence are recorded before filing.
Evidence-boundThe filed package keeps the exact source file, page, passage and answer association used in review.
AttributedFiling and approval events retain accountable actors, roles and timestamps.
VerifiableThe record is built to be re-opened, exported and checked later instead of reconstructed from memory.
