PEG - Content Updates (Audit)
The PEG Audit template has been updated to include the latest features from Audit 24.00.
Most of the changes and new requirements in CAS 315 are intended to help auditors consistently identify and assess risks of material misstatement (RMM). What has not changed is the audit risk model and the objective to identify and assess RMM at the financial statement and assertion levels, whether due to fraud or error, to help design your audit response.
Known issues
- When creating a new control in an updated client file from the Control dialog, the option to select items under IT Layer and IT Process may not display. To resolve this issue:
- Open AO - General options in the client file. If the document appears blank, close and reopen it.
- Click the reload button for the Default profile, located at the bottom of the document.
- Click the reload button for the profile that the file should use.
- Due to the removal of guidance text from Forms A.110, A.115, C.110 and CC.110, the forms open with an empty guidance section after the content update. You can disable the guidance section from Options | Display Document Guidance.
- Due to the renumbering of Form 706 to Form 580, the form remains in the previous location (on updated client files in the Document Manager, under Revenues). You must move the form manually to the new location under the folder Risk Identification and Assessment.
- During the update, Forms 550C and 420C may not be deleted from the file. The forms are condensed forms and should be manually deleted from the file.
- Form MAP has been updated in the master template, but does not update during a client file update. To update the form, either import a new copy from the Document Library of the master template, or copy the updated form from your Knotia PEG subscription into the client file.
