Creating a New Client File

1. In CaseWare® Working Papers, select File | New and type a name for your client file.

2. Select the appropriate template icon (Audit, Review, or Compilation) and click Create file. All components of the selected template are copied automatically into your new client file.

3. After the copying is completed:

1. For engagement files based on the Review or Compilation templates, all documents and components of the selected template will be included in the client file.
2. An Engagement Profile Selector dialog will prompt you to select a default set of audit forms and template features for your engagement. Select the profile that best suits the engagement. All components of the selected template are copied automatically into the new client file.

When a profile is selected, an Optimiser Checklist will automatically open, prompting the engagement team to answer a series of questions related to the engagement. Answering each question will mark the associated documents for deletion in the Optimiser Confirmation Report (AOCR). All work-programs and leadsheets will appear in Part III of the AOCR. Do not proceed with deleting these documents until materiality is completed.

4. Once all relevant documents have been included in the engagement file, the Engagement Properties dialog is displayed. Select the beginning and ending dates for your client’s fiscal year and click OK.
