What's new in Audit 26.00

Learn about the features and fixes available to you in the latest release of Audit System.

Features

This release includes the following new features:

  • Engagement file metadata now includes version information. This improves the efficiency of Caseware Cloud and the Batch Tool when determining whether engagement files require updates.

  • Improved the template update process so that engagement files no longer appear to be read-only unless at least one file is not SmartSync-safe.

  • Added a warning message when you attempt to delete an assertion associated with significant risks in the FSA.

Fixes

This release includes fixes to the following issues:

  • Attempting to reinsert deleted manual documents using the AOCR results in a script error. This error does not occur if the documents are reinserted using the Document Library.

  • Account annotations do not appear after being added to an audit area.

  • After cleaning up an engagement file, certain sub-procedures no longer sign off automatically, and if you sign off the sub-procedures manually, the result column disappears.

  • After enabling the Override procedure response type option and closing the Edit procedure dialog, the option is immediately disabled.

  • Deleting all procedures from a group does not delete the group itself.

  • Imported controls do not import any linked procedures. This issue does not occur when importing risks or reportable items.

  • Reportable items that are linked to either a risk or control from Working Papers cause the association to appear duplicated in the dialog.

  • Renamed headers in the Risk report and Report menu are not renamed in the document filter.

  • Filtering the Control design/implementation document using the Assertions drop-down results in a blank report.

  • Attempting to import more than 30 risks into a work program or checklist results in an unknown error.

  • Checking for updates in forms with signed-off procedures incorrectly increments the form's content version, preventing it from receiving further updates.

  • When performing an engagement update, the Update All option does not apply some of the selected options from AO - General options, for example, Select all updated documents by default.

  • After performing a template update, the selected option in the Planning drop-down menu of the FSA worksheet is reset.

  • Incrementing the content version of a template document and then updating the client file does not bring the prerequisite settings from the template into the client file.

  • After performing a template or engagement update, CaseView documents take a longer time to open than usual.

  • After performing a "functionality only" engagement update from 23.00 to a newer version, the Working Papers file version still shows 23.00.
