Using Financials and Audit in a Client File

You can incorporate the Financials and Audit templates into a single client file. However, there is a specific order of operations that must be followed: the Financials IFRS template must be used first.

Creating a New Client File based on Financials and Audit

To create a new client file based on Financials and Audit:

  1. In CaseWare® Working Papers, select File | New, then select Create a new file and click OK.
  2. Type a name for your client file and select the Financials file as the base file. All components of the Financials template are copied automatically to your new client file.
  3. After the copying is completed, the Engagement Properties dialog is displayed. Select the beginning and ending dates for your client’s fiscal year. Click OK.
  4. In the client file, select Insert | New Document | From Document Library.
  5. Click the Source drop-down and select your Audit template.
  6. Select the document(s) you wish to include in your client file and click Add.

Adding Financials and Audit to an Existing Client File

To include the Financials and Audit templates in a CaseWare® Working Papers client file:

  1. In the client file, select Insert | New Document | From Document Library.
  2. Click the Source drop-down and select the Financials template.
  3. Select the document(s) you wish to include in your client file and click Add. Financials components are contained in the following folders:

    • Customising for the Engagement
    • Financial Reports
    • Application Process Documents
  4. In the client file, select Insert | New Document | From Document Library again.
  5. Click the Source drop-down and select the Audit template.

Adding Financials to an Existing Audit Client File

To add the Financials components to an existing client file built using the Audit template, you must create a new client file based on Financials and then add your Audit components from the existing client file.

  1. In CaseWare® Working Papers, select File | New, then select Create a new file and click OK.
  2. Type a name for your client file and select the Financials file as the base file. All components of the Financials template are copied automatically to your new client file.

  4. In the newly created client file, select File | Copy Components.
  5. In the Copy Components Wizard, copy the Documents, Groupings/Mapping and Trial Balance components from the existing client file to the new file.
