Automatic document types

There are several types of automatic documents that generate specific information based on the format and settings selected.

Document Type Description
Account analysis

You can specify an account range, a date range, and an amount range to filter the content to display. If applicable, you can use a dBase filter to display specific journal entries.

This document type is useful if general ledger detail has been entered or imported into Working Papers.
Account reconciliation

Used to reconcile general ledger balances with the bank statement.

This document type is useful if the file is used for monthly bookkeeping.

Analytical review

Displays the change in amounts in accounts from prior periods.

This document type can be used to calculate ratios based on the ratio class entered for each account.

Chart of accounts

Displays each posting account in the Trial Balance with columns for preliminary (before adjustments) balances, adjustments and final account balance.
Chart of mapping numbers Displays each mapping number and name in the Trial Balance.
Consolidation Displays each entity within a consolidation structure.
Diagnostics

General ledger Displays activities for each account in the Trial Balance, including full descriptions for adjusting entries.
History

Displays any events that have occurred in the current file.

Issues

Displays issues in the current file, including most issue properties.

This document type is useful for filtering issues based on their status, so that you can prioritize and resolve them more efficiently.

Journals

Displays each transaction entered for a particular journal, including descriptions, dates, sources, journal numbers, amounts, and account numbers.
Leadsheet/Grouping

Displays accounts or group numbers that are grouped together by common properties.

Supporting leadsheets provide a detailed listing of entries for each account on the main leadsheet by listing each transaction that contributes to the account balance presented on the main leadsheet.

Summary leadsheets summarize a series of sub-leadsheet numbers. Sub-leadsheet numbers must be created and assigned to accounts in the Trial Balance.
Memorandum

Used to enter notes about the file.

If you require formatting options for a memorandum, it is recommended that you create a CaseView document and copy the contents of the memo to CaseView.
Program/Checklist Used to document audit or review procedures performed on the engagement, or to list review points noted during the file review process.
Spreadsheet analysis Used for calculating scenarios.
Tax reconciliation Displays tax adjustments, prior tax balances, and temporary and permanent differences to assist in reconciling tax accounts and calculating taxable income.
Tickmarks Displays the available tickmarks in the file. You can use this document type to create new tickmarks.
Trial balance

Displays the chart of accounts with balances and adjustments, referencing, and percentage change columns. You can change the type of balances displayed on the Trial Balance from active/prior to active/budget, consolidated, five year, or tax. For a large chart of accounts, accounts can be presented by leadsheet, group number, map number or tax code.
Uncorrected misstatements

Displays the subtotals for each misstatement type as well as a total for all misstatements.

This document type is useful in determining the materiality of errors on financial statements by providing a summary of any unrecorded factual, projected or judgmental adjusting journal entries that would cause assets, liabilities and income fields to be overstated or understated.

  • Unrecorded – Factual Adjusting Journal Entries: Represents factual misstatements that will not be recorded because of materiality or proposed entries that may be subsequently changed to a normal status.
  • Unrecorded – Projected Adjusting Journal Entries: Represents projected misstatements that are unrecorded based on the auditor's best estimates of misstatements in populations; usually derived from sampling.
  • Unrecorded – Judgmental Adjusting Journal Entries: Represents judgmental misstatements that are unrecorded based on differences arising from the judgments of management concerning accounting estimates, or the selection or application of accounting policies that the auditor considers inappropriate or unreasonable.

For proper presentation on the Uncorrected Misstatements document, specify the correct ratio class for each Balance Sheet account.
