The firm’s customized master template should be updated by the Firm author. Once updated, the master template can be further customized, repackaged, and distributed to your users. The update includes changes for both functionality and content. The installation of the update modifies the master template and installs files needed for the client file updates.

Step 3: Install/Update
Step 3: Install/Update your Audit International Master Template
The Audit International update can be installed on the Firm author’s copy of the master template. Once updated, the firm author can review the changes, make further customizations if necessary, and repackage the master file. Your staff should install the firm’s repackaged master template with the update rather than the downloaded update. If your firm does not make any firm customizations to the master template, your staff can install the update as well.
Procedure:
- Ensure you have created a backup of your master template as outlined in Backing up your existing Audit International/CPEM master template.
-
Using My Computer or Windows Explorer, locate and double-click the downloaded file. This will begin the installation.
- Click Yes when the UAC prompt appears.
- Click Next on the Welcome screen to continue.
- Accept the license agreement and click Next.
- Set the path for the Program folder and the Document Library and click Finish.
- Progress information is provided while the update is running.

- Click Close to complete the installation/update.
Note
- Updating the master Audit International template will take 10-30 minutes.
- The order of documents that appears in the document manager has been streamlined for ease of use and to tie to the dashboard steps. As the changes to the document manager have been extensive, the update also includes the rearrangement of the document manager in your master file. Any firm authored folders or documents will appear either the top of the document manager or at the top of their respective folder.
- The firm should review the document manager and perform a one-time rearrangement of documents if needed. The document manager of engagement files will not be rearranged, with the exception of any new files appearing at the top of the document manager.
