What Dokune supports

Practical workflow assistance for professional accounting teams.

Dokune is built as an operating layer for accounting work: organising information, preparing working drafts, surfacing items for review and keeping the team aligned.

▤
Document extraction

Turn incoming documents into reviewable data.

Extract relevant fields from uploaded accounting documents and present them for staff confirmation before they are relied on.

≈
Draft preparation

Prepare first drafts for a qualified person to review.

Support draft workpapers, client requests, internal summaries and other practice material. Drafts are not treated as final professional advice.

✓
Transaction review

Suggest coding and highlight items that need attention.

AI-assisted transaction categorisation can provide suggestions, confidence signals and context for professional review.

%
GST & tax preparation workflow

Organise preparation, evidence and review.

Support period workflows, calculations, adjustments and supporting records while keeping approval responsibility with accounting professionals.

◎
Practice administration

Keep clients, work and team activity connected.

Bring client information, jobs, tasks, document status, approvals and practice operations into one structured workspace.

Responsible AI by design

AI assists. A qualified person decides.

Accounting is professional work. Dokune is designed to support the people responsible for that work rather than replace their judgement. The product is intended for supervised business use inside professional practices.

Client-facing safeguard: Where an AI-assisted output may materially affect or be communicated to a client, it should be reviewed and approved by a suitably qualified person first. Appropriate disclosure of AI assistance should also be made where required or relevant.
01

Human-in-the-loop review

AI-generated suggestions and drafts are presented as work for professional review. Users can amend, reject or approve them before downstream use.

02

AI disclosure

AI-assisted content is identified within the workflow, and the operating model calls for appropriate disclosure when AI-assisted material is provided externally.

03

No autonomous consumer advice

Dokune is not marketed as a self-directed consumer financial adviser. It supports accounting professionals carrying out business-to-business professional work.

04

No automated high-impact decisions

Dokune is not designed to make autonomous credit, lending, insurance, employment, medical, legal eligibility or similar high-impact decisions about individuals.

05

Traceable workflow

Review states, approvals and workflow events are designed to keep important work visible rather than hiding it behind an opaque automated decision.

Clear boundaries

Not an “AI financial adviser”Dokune does not replace an accountant, financial adviser or other qualified professional.
×
Not an autonomous tax adviser for consumersThe platform supports professional preparation and workflow; it is not positioned as a consumer robo-advice service.
×
Not a medical diagnosis systemDokune is an accounting and professional-workflow product, not a clinical diagnosis or treatment system.
×
Not an automated eligibility engineIt does not autonomously decide who qualifies for credit, insurance, employment, benefits or other high-impact opportunities.
