Organize all documents related to each engagement in one controlled area, regardless of whether they are Working Papers, Word, Excel, PDF or scanned documents using Working Papers’ built-in Document Manager.

• Working Papers’ Check Out/Check In feature allows a user to lock access or "check out" engagement documents.
• The Sign Out feature enables a user to lock access or "sign out" an entire client file.
• Working Papers can be installed over a local area network, centrally in your office or at a client location, with many users sharing one engagement file.
• Robust document and record locking ensures file integrity when more than one person is working on a file.

Turn any type of document, including financial statements, into top-notch, client-ready documents that directly link to your account properties and amounts. Our sophisticated report writer uses “smart technology” to automate formatting, rounding, diagnostics, account amounts, text, account balances and even financial notes based on your preference.

• Lockdown allows easy compliance with the established standards governing the documentation an auditor should prepare, change and retain. Changes from that point forward are tracked and recorded.

• The sophisticated protection system can be enabled to ensure the integrity of all client files and to determine the roles of users in completing the engagement.

• Globally track the status of all client files using Tracker.  With a customizable interface, Tracker can identify engagements with pending lockdown dates to ensure engagement teams have sufficient notice to perform any file clean up work.

• Speed up the file set-up process for first year engagements using custom templates.
• Scan documents directly to the Document Manager.
• Maintain clean client files by automatically purging unwanted documents, issues, history, milestones and annotation.
• Working Papers offers a wide range of options to automate customized roll-forwards.

• With point and click reading of native files from most accounting software packages, data can be directly imported into the trial balance. You can also choose to import general ledger data for detailed analysis.
• Highly flexible trial balance provides full reporting period flexibility to meet the needs of your firm’s engagements.
• Trial balance columns can be easily resized, sorted and hidden to give you total control over your view.

• Working Papers’ drag and drop mapping system allows you to quickly assign your clients’ accounts to your firm’s standard map numbers.
• Because map numbers are common to all clients, engagements can be standardized and completed more quickly and accurately.
• All other properties of an account, such as lead sheet, ratio class, tax codes etc, are automatically completed.
• Assign accounts to different groups for reporting, lead sheet and work paper preparation.

• When you post an adjusting journal entry, any affected accounts or documents update immediately.
• Working Papers lets you change a journal entry from any one type to another (e.g. proposed to normal) without having to recreate the entry.

Using a simple tree structure similar to that of Windows Explorer and Working Papers' own Document Manager, you can

• combine several client files into a single client file by consolidating data from separate entities into a parent file using map numbers; or
• maintain separate entities in one file allowing you real-time consolidation

Working Papers' consolidation function is ideal for joint-venture accounting, fund accounting, product and life-cycle analysis, and any type of multi-entity performance-monitoring documents.

Built-in automatic documents provide fast and efficient access to supporting work papers that can be easily added to the Document Manager.

• Annotations can be easily added in the form of notes, tickmarks, document or manual references.

• Custom graphical tickmarks can be easily integrated into Working Papers.

• Working Papers lets you track and monitor specific history events so you are always up to speed. To easily go back in time, a copy of the file can be saved automatically at specific milestones.
• Interactive issues/review notes can be created, assigned, tracked and controlled for any document in the engagement file.
• Sign-offs accommodate up to 8 signatures and utilize a color-coding to quickly assess the status of the review process.
• The Document Manager provides filters allowing for quick review of the completion status of documents and issues.

• Incorporate Microsoft Outlook items directly onto the Document Manager.
• Easily integrate with 3rd party Audit tools such as PPC ePractice Aides, McGladrey Advanced CPA content and Capital Confirmation’s CONFIRM.
• Integrate with major Tax Packages.
• Use CaseWare Connector to link data between the client file and Microsoft Word and Excel documents.
• Using state-of-the-art object component architecture, Working Papers can easily integrate with other software tools.

Keep PDFs of individual documents or create an indexed PDF of the entire client file.
