Introduction
We offer Auditomation Basic Portal for the connected Auditors who's accountants use SMSF Sorted Pro. Following are the functionalities and actions that can be performed by the auditors using the Auditomation Connected Portal.
Referenced Audit Workpaper Files
Auditors connected with SMSF Sorted Accountants now have the ability to download referenced audit workpaper files. These files contain hyperlinks to the source documents that have been tagged to the line items by the accountant.
- Complementary Files: Each auditor receives 50 complementary referenced audit workpaper files annually.
- Top-up and Upgrade: After downloading the 50th file, auditors can either top up additional referenced files or upgrade their subscription for more downloads.
Downloading and Viewing a Workpaper File
When auditors click the download icon, the referenced audit workpaper files will be downloaded as a zip folder. To view the contents:
Extract the zip file to a separate folder.
The extracted folder contains:
- The workpaper file
- A folder with source documents shared by the accountant.
Best Browser Compatibility
The workpaper file is best viewed using Google Chrome, as indicated in the user interface.
Hyperlinked Documents
The source documents tagged by accountants on line items will have a prefix "WP" along with a hyperlink. Clicking the hyperlink allows the user to open and view the source document.
Other items you can review within the workpaper file include:
- Permanent Documents
