Do I need to provide portal access to my clients to get them to submit their data and files to me?

add

Yes. Note that you can restrict their access to a very basic level, and they won’t see anything you don’t give them specific access to.

Find the answers you need

Where will my data be stored?

add

Your data will be stored in state-of-the-art data centres operated by Amazon Web Services Australian data centre. At Caseware, we’ve included our own security and data encryption processes in addition to AWS security. 

Do you need an internet connection to use Caseware Cloud?

add

For Caseware Working Papers files which are linked to Caseware Cloud, an internet connection is required to synchronise the work from the copy on your machine to the copy on the cloud (and therefore your colleagues’ copies of the file as well). Otherwise, you can perform work on your local copy without internet access. For engagements that are solely worked on within Caseware Cloud through a web browser (eg. our Agile Audit & SMSF Audit products) an internet connection is always required.
