5 example finance processes. Each is a governed graph: agents run the reversible steps, and the irreversible ones wait for the role that must sign. Import one and adapt it — your connectors, your signers, your time limits.

Posting a journal entry to the general ledger changes the financial statements and is meant to be a controlled, approved action, so a controller reviews and approves material or non-standard entries before they post.
Concluding that a control is effective (or waiving a deficiency) is an audit judgment that can mislead a SOX filing, so an auditor or control owner signs off the control conclusion before it's recorded.
Reporting a debt to a credit bureau or escalating to legal action is hard to unwind and directly affects a consumer, so a human signs off before those steps and before any deviation from the FDCPA/Reg F contact limits.
A denial is an ECOA adverse action with specific-reason and notice obligations, so an underwriter signs off before an adverse decision (or an exception approval) is issued.
