In a live audit scenario, Auditors have to manually record their comments on a sheet of paper or in a Microsoft Word document. The Audit Working Paper (AWP) feature in Tally.ERP 9 Auditors' Edition eliminates this manual-entry. As per SA 230, Auditors have to record their audit-related tasks in the Audit Working Paper, and also record inputs from their clients to support audit conclusions. Keeping in mind the nature of the audit workflow, we have built enough flexibility into this feature to assist you throughout the audit. Highlights : Flexibility of the feature This feature can be enabled at the master level configuration, and a prompt is triggered every time a Verification/Working Note is entered for a particular Voucher/Ledger. Tally provides the flexibility of editing the notes from within Audit Working Tool (by drilling down to the respective voucher/ledger) or from the individual voucher/ledger. Consolidated Audit Working Paper The AWP will have a complete list of notes (displayed category-wise)-those entered by the Auditor and the replies from the client. These are available in a chronological order for various transactions. Verification notes can be edited in the AWP itself instead of navigating to the respective transactions. Secured access to the Audit Working Paper The Chartered Accountant can control the audit team's access to the Audit Working Paper according to specifiable levels (Alter, View, Print, All), or be the sole owner of the document.
