Compilations to audits in one tool

I am the audit manager for a company in Bellville. The working paper structure walks our juniors through a proper process step by step. The IFRS for SMEs financial statements are automated and kept current with the standards.

Accounting · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Solid but the reporting holds it back

Change a number in the trial balance and it flows through to every disclosure, no rekeying. It does exactly what we needed.

Pros

Compilation, review and audit in one; automated IFRS for SMEs statements.

Cons

Lighter for very large groups.
