FIN.16:4.8 - Carry the advice to its proper stopping point

Return the recommendation to the person whose decision or ongoing work needs it. If that person chooses an alternative, preserve the chosen premises in the receiving financial work and pass the needed terms to its performer. Advice, authorization, instruction and observed financial effect have different completion conditions. The adviser should not report a successful transaction merely because the recommendation was accepted.

A rejected recommendation can still contain useful analysis. Recover which assumption, objective or constraint drove the different choice before treating it as a calculation failure. Conversely, acceptance is not evidence that the recommendation was financially sound. Later outcomes can inform FIN.17 or FIN.18, with the information available at the original decision kept distinct from hindsight.

For continuing reliance, give the few return conditions that can invalidate the answer: a receipt misses its usable date, an offer expires, the price crosses the threshold or a needed consent is denied. Identify how the receiving work will obtain the changed fact when that responsibility matters. A completed one-time question need not create a permanent reporting cycle. Finish when the receiver has the warranted recommendation or bounded missing decision and a usable continuation.
