Creating a new client file from existing client data

A new file can be created from a client data source. Company details, accounts, journal entries, and other accounting data is imported from the specified data source and included in the new file.

  1. Open CaseWare® Working Papers and select Create a new file from client data. Click OK.

  2. Bring in the trial balance by choosing one of three options:
    • Client data file – based on an existing QuickBooks accounting file
    • Existing file – based on an existing Working Papers file
    • Other data source – based on another accounting package
  3. Click Next. Choose the file whose trial balance data you wish to include in the new file.

  4. Click Next. Enter a name for your client file and select the Financials file as the base file.

  5. Click Finish. All components of the Financials template are copied automatically to your new client file.
