Your starting prompt.

Reconcile [physical counts] with [system inventory] at [count cutoff], accounting for recorded receipts, shipments, transfers and adjustments around that time. Calculate unit and recorded value differences by SKU and location, distinguishing timing issues from unexplained variances. Show conversion assumptions and supporting movement references. Produce a proposed investigation table; do not post adjustments or describe discrepancies as theft without evidence.

Copy this starting point, then replace the placeholders with your own inputs.

Method and review
