Turning data into limitless possibilities

Accounting practices are finding it increasingly difficult to look across large volumes of engagement and practice-wide data to obtain timely insights and identify trends for client advisory and internal process improvements.

Say hello to the latest solution in the Caseware ecosystem for business intelligence in accounting — Caseware Sherlock, which can help your firm transition to an insights-driven culture.

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.
