Using Financials and Audit in a Client File

You can incorporate documents from both the Financials and Audit templates into a single client file. Note that this procedure does not apply to master template files.

Prerequisites:

• Before combining documents from the two templates into a client file, the template owner must ensure a consistent mapping and grouping structure is used in both templates. We recommend replacing the mapping/grouping in the Audit based templates, with the mapping/grouping in the Financials product.

New client files

When starting a new client file, template content can be added during file creation.

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

1. In Working Papers, click File | New.
2. Enter a new name for your file, then under Based on, select the Financials or Audit template and click Create file. All components of the template copy into the new client file.
3. When the copying is complete, the Engagement Properties dialog displays. Select the beginning and ending dates for your client’s fiscal year. Click OK.
4. In the client file, click File | Copy Components to launch the Copy Components Wizard. In the dialog, select Copy Into This File as the copy method.
5. On the Select Source page, click the Template tab and select the template you did not use as the file base. Click Next.
6. Select the components you wish to include in your client file, then click Next.
7. If necessary, check the components you wish to clear from the client file. Click Next.
8. To proceed, click Finish.

The new client file is created with Financials and Audit content.

Existing client files

You can add Financials content, Audit content, or content from both templates, to existing Working Papers client files.

To include Financials and Audit content in an existing Working Papers client file:

1. In the existing client file, click File | Copy Components to launch the Copy Components Wizard. In the dialog, select Copy Into This File as the copy method.
2. On the Select Source page, click the Template tab and select either the Financials or Audit template. Click Next.
3. Select the components you wish to include in your client file, then click Next.
4. If necessary, check the components you wish to clear from the client file. Click Next.
5. To proceed, click Finish.
6. Repeat this procedure for the other template if required.

The template content is added to the client file.

Note: Alternatively, you can drag and drop documents from the Document Library of a template to copy them into an existing file.
