Working Papers Import Usability Enhancements

A virtualised platform for auditors to work, collaborate, store and access files.

With its centralized, shared view of project data, CloudShare enables auditors to manage the audit process without multiple occurrences or copies of the same data source.

CloudShare equips auditors with the following capabilities:

y Authentication & Collaboration: User-based permissions to enable access and sharing of project files within IDEA CloudShare and CaseWare Cloud.

y Connect to CaseWare Cloud: A cloud-based location to upload, download and share project files.

Collaborative CloudShare Platform

IDEA subscribers will benefit from a growing library of SmartAnalyzer apps in Passport, the first of which is Exceptional Exceptions – General Ledger. This exciting new app leverages advanced audit intelligence and machine learning techniques to generate risk-based anomalies.

This app includes 24 general ledger financial audit tests that are assigned a priority score based on the risk level for that particular company. By aggregating the results of each weighted test for each transaction, IDEA can identify the riskiest transactions. Auditors can then review these transactions and select those that include in an audit sample and explore risk areas that require more attention.
