Greek Financial Statements

This skill generates professional financial statements for Greek businesses, integrating with the ΕΓΛΣ (Ελληνικό Γενικό Λογιστικό Σχέδιο — Greek General Chart of Accounts) and enforcing strict completeness gates to prevent incomplete or inaccurate output. Every statement is versioned, bilingual (Greek for clients, English for internal), and includes a full audit trail.

Setup

export OPENCLAW_DATA_DIR="/data"
which jq || sudo apt install jq

No external credentials required. Generates financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) from data in OPENCLAW_DATA_DIR. Includes a completeness gate that blocks generation if source data is incomplete.

Core Philosophy

• Completeness First: Never generate a statement with incomplete source data — halt and report blockers
• ΕΓΛΣ Native: All accounts classified per Greek Chart of Accounts standards
• Versioned & Immutable: Once issued, a statement is never overwritten — amendments create new versions
• Bilingual Output: Greek labels for client-facing documents, English for internal use
• Balance Sheet Must Balance: Assets must equal equity plus liabilities — halt on any mismatch
• Human Oversight: All generated statements are drafts until a senior accountant reviews and issues them

Completeness Gate

The completeness gate runs automatically before every statement generation. It checks all required data sources and halts generation if any are incomplete. The gate cannot be bypassed without --force-partial --confirm.

Gate Checks

Completeness_Gate:
  banking_reconciliation:
    check: "Banking reconciliation exists and status is 'complete' for the period"
    source: "/data/clients/{AFM}/compliance/ or /data/banking/"
    blocker_if: "missing or status != complete"
    
  vat_filing:
    check: "VAT filing data exists for the period"
    source: "/data/compliance/vat/{AFM}_{period}_vat_return.xml"
    blocker_if: "missing"
    
  efka_contributions:
    check: "EFKA contribution data exists and status is 'calculated' or 'submitted'"
    source: "/data/efka/"
    blocker_if: "missing or status == 'pending'"
    
  ocr_queue:
    check: "No documents for this client are pending in the OCR queue"
    source: "/data/processing/ocr/queued/"
    blocker_if: "pending_count > 0"
    
  prior_period:
    check: "Prior period statement exists (unless this is the first period)"
    source: "/data/clients/{AFM}/financial-statements/"
    blocker_if: "missing and not first_period"
    warning_if: "prior period has unresolved amendments"

Gate Output

When blocked:

{
  "afm": "EL987654321",
  "period": "2026-02",
  "gate_result": "BLOCKED",
  "blockers": [
    {
      "check": "banking_reconciliation",
      "status": "not_started",
      "resolve_command": "openclaw banking reconcile --afm EL987654321 --period 2026-02"

  "recommendation": "Resolve blockers before generating statements. Run: openclaw statements blockers --afm EL987654321 --period 2026-02 for details."
}

Blocked results are logged to /data/memory/failures/ with failure_type: completeness_gate_failed.

ΕΓΛΣ — Greek Chart of Accounts Integration

Versioning & Amendments

Version Rules

Every statement generation creates a new version. Versions are immutable once created.

Versioning:
  first_generation:
    version: 1
    status: "draft"
    transitions: "draft → issued (by senior_accountant review)"
    
  amendment:
    version: "previous_version + 1"
    status: "draft"
    requires: "reason text, reference to what changed"
    preserves: "all prior versions remain in directory"
    
  file_naming:
    json: "{AFM}_{period}_{type}_v{N}.json"
    pdf: "{AFM}_{period}_{type}_v{N}.pdf"
    examples:
      - "EL123456789_2026-01_pl_v1.json"
      - "EL123456789_2026-01_balance-sheet_v1.json"
      - "EL555444333_2025-10_pl_v2.json"  # Amendment

Statement Index

Each client maintains a statement index at /data/clients/{AFM}/financial-statements/index.json:

{
  "afm": "EL123456789",
  "statements": [
    {
      "period": "2026-01",
      "type": "pl",
      "version": 1,
      "status": "issued",
      "issued_at": "2026-02-10T14:30:00Z",
      "issued_by": "m.papadopoulos",
      "filename": "EL123456789_2026-01_pl_v1.json"

      "version": 1,

      "filename": "EL123456789_2026-01_balance-sheet_v1.json"
    }
  ]
}

Amendment Workflow

Amendment_Process:
  step_1: "Identify the item requiring amendment (e.g., late invoice)"
  step_2: "Load the current latest version for the period"
  step_3: "Apply the correction to the affected accounts"

  step_5: "Validate balance sheet still balances after amendment"
  step_6: "Create new version file with amendment metadata"
  step_7: "Update index.json with new version entry"
  step_8: "Generate amendment PDF marked as Τροποποίηση (Amendment)"
  step_9: "Log episode to /data/memory/episodes/ with episode_type: amendment_issued"
  
  amendment_metadata:
    reason: "Free text describing why the amendment was needed"
    original_version: "Reference to the version being amended"
    changes: "Line-by-line diff of what changed"
    impact: "Net effect on profit/loss and balance sheet"
    discovered_date: "When the error/omission was discovered"

Professional Liability

Every generated statement includes:

• A disclaimer noting automated preparation
• A recommendation for licensed accountant review
• The version number and generation timestamp
• The completeness gate results at time of generation

Statements are generated as drafts by default. Only a user with senior_accountant role or above may change status to issued through the review workflow.
