Features

Cloud integration

• Hybrid Cloud firms can now access their Cloud-integrated engagement files from the new Caseware Cloud menu on the Working Papers File | Open page. This functionality is no longer combined with the SmartSync Server menu. You can search through and filter your firm's entities, then select an entity to view the associated engagement files. Opening an engagement file from this interface automatically checks out a local sync copy to your computer.

IDEA integration

• There are no changes to Working Papers regarding IDEA integration; however, updates to IDEA will add functionality to SmartAnalyzer apps that will be accessible within Working Papers.

Imports

• Working Papers now supports imports from the following software packages:
  • Palladium 2017
  • QuickBooks 2023 (Australia, Canada, UK, USA)
  • Sage 50 Accounting 2023 (Canada)
• Xero imports now include general ledger descriptions for cash flow items.

Fixes

Interface

• Fixed an issue where Working Papers would stop responding upon launching QuickBooks.

Features

Automatic documents

• Added the Context selector to uncorrected misstatement type documents in consolidated files. Users can select the entity within the consolidated entity structure as context for the document.

Hybrid Cloud

IDEA integration

• IDEA SmartAnalyzer and IDEA projects are now accessible from the Working Papers ribbon. Users can initiate SmartAnalyzer tests within Working Papers to incorporate analytics into their engagement workflow. For more information, visit idea.caseware.com.

  Note: These features require IDEA version 12.1 or above on the same workstation as Working Papers.

ASCII and Excel import enhancements

We’ve reduced the amount of time it takes to import large ASCII and Excel file types into Working Papers by 30%. This estimate is dependent on your hardware configuration and may be affected by the storage location of your files.

AnalyticsAI file deletion after year end close

An error message now displays if the year end close process fails to delete an associated AnalyticsAI file. If you receive this error, you’ll need to manually delete the AnalyticsAI file in Cloud.

Document Manager rename prompt

When adding a document that contains unsupported characters in the file name to the Document Manager, a prompt now displays to rename the document.

General enhancements

Imports

• Working Papers now supports imports from Sage 50 2021 (USA).

Integration with multiple Cloud sites

We’ve added support for integration with multiple Cloud sites. Users can now save the details of multiple sites and easily switch between them from the Options dialog. Note that for security reasons, login credentials are cleared when you switch sites.

Single sourcing engagement properties from Cloud

Cloud-integrated files now single source engagement properties, including contact information, from Cloud. When integrating a file with a Cloud entity, the engagement properties will automatically populate with the properties from Cloud. This ensures that the engagement files for each client are consistent and saves you the effort of filling out client information manually.

Bulk property changes to automatic documents

The properties of leadsheet/grouping, tax reconciliation, and trial balance documents can now be modified simultaneously if all documents share the same type and format.

Cell action to publish data to the trial balance

CaseView cell values can now be published to the trial balance to support note details in consolidated files. Create an event cell with the Move to Performance Measures action to push the value of a tagged cell to the performance measures database.

General enhancements

CaseView

• Merged pages are now retained in the Print Preview dialog upon closing the preview. To unmerge pages, simply right-click the merged pages and select Remove this merge group, or close the CaseView document.
• Numbered list items that are separated by a bullet list or paragraphs now retain their numbering. Added the option to restart the numbering of a numbered list.
• Multiple document references can now be added simultaneously, similar to Working Papers. You no longer need to add references one at a time in a CaseView document.

Documents

• Added a Delivered Date property to automatic documents that allows you to track the date when a document deliverable has been sent to a client. A column has also been added to the Document Manager so you can easily view the delivered dates for all applicable documents.

Licensing

• A new version of the Network License Server is available for use with Working Papers 2020. Organizations with network licenses must download and install the new version from MyCaseware to ensure continued access.

Lock down

• Added China as a jurisdiction in the Engagement Lockdown Wizard.

Mapping and grouping

• Budget and forecast balances can now display in the Assign Mapping Numbers dialog to improve the mapping process.

SmartSync

• A list of outstanding sync copies now displays when attempting to rename a traditional SmartSync file. Use this list to determine who needs to delete their sync copy prior to renaming the file.

References

• Link multiple documents simultaneously when adding a document reference to automatic documents, images and PDFs, or Microsoft Office documents, rather than one at a time.

SmartSync Server

• SmartSync Server parent files can now be renamed from Working Papers using a local sync copy. Before you can rename a parent file, all other staff must delete their sync copies first, otherwise they will be abandoned.

• The ENTABBR cell function now supports a greater variety of calculations in the extended description of a consolidated entity.

• Fixed an issue where CaseView documents with embedded PDFs would print darker and more saturated than expected.
• Fixed an issue that prevented watermarks on printed documents from displaying properly centered.

• Fixed an issue where exported tags split across multiple Inline XBRL elements would result in a syntax error.

Tracker

File Management

• Perform a year end close and roll forward on one or multiple local files directly from Tracker. Performing a bulk year end close enables you to generate multiple new files for the next year simultaneously.
• When performing a bulk file conversion, the Cannot Convert File dialog now displays at the end of the conversion process, rather than after each failed file. This prevents a failed conversion from interrupting the conversion process. You can view failed conversions afterward in the conversion log file.
• Streamlined the local file scan process to reduce completion time.

SmartSync Server

• You can now compress and uncompress SmartSync Server parent files from Tracker.
• Added confirmation dialogs when selecting the following commands to prevent accidental modifications to SmartSync Server files:
  • Abandon All Sync Copies
  • Abandon Specific Sync Copies
  • Clear Synchronization Info
  • Delete Server Copy
