De opdracht aanmaken

This topic applies to OnPoint Audit.

To start the engagement, create a new OnPoint Audit engagement file. Note that you can set key dates, budgets and assign staff members to the engagement file to prepare and review the engagement work.

To create an OnPoint Audit engagement:

  1. Ga naar het Cloudmenu () en klik op OnPoint Audit.

  2. Klik op de knop Nieuw.

    3. The OnPoint Audit dialog displays.

  3. Choose your client Entity, by clicking on the quick search icon ().

  4. Enter a Name for the engagement file.

  5. You can also:

    • Choose to carry forward data from a previous engagement.

    • Select a Start Date and End Date for your engagement.

    • Enter budget information.

    • Add a description.

  6. In the Preparer field, enter your name and select all staff assigned to the engagement from the drop-down list.

  7. In the Reviewer field, enter other staff members' names as required. Select them from the list to assign them as a reviewer.

  8. Klik op Opslaan.

    9. The engagement file automatically opens in your browser.

Set the workflow status and year end date

When you first open the engagement, a pop-up displays showing the engagement's Workflow status.

The Workflow status lets clients and other stakeholders know how far along you are in the engagement process. If you intend to start working on the engagement right away, set the Workflow status to In Progress.

You can also enter:

  • Job number

  • Handelsnaam

  • Rapportageperiode

  • Year and date

Note that an incorrect year end date affects trial balance imports.

When setting the workflow you can also select Lockdown to close the engagement and select Consolidate to bring in data from subsidiary files.

Lockdown and consolidate workflow

Note that you will not need to lockdown the engagement until the final audit has been signed off on, and key deliverables are provided to end users. To learn more, see Archive and lock down the engagement.

Once you select Save, you can view the Documents page.

The Documents page acts as a central hub in OnPoint Audit. To populate content on the Documents page, complete the 1-100 - Acceptance/Continuance document. Once the document is complete and the engagement is accepted, complete the 1-200 - Engagement set up checklist.

Documents are available within three phases, which have been broken down further to allow for ease of navigation throughout the document manager. For example, the planning phase contains Risk assessment, Assessment of the controls environment and Materiality documents. The three phases are:

  • Planning

  • Fieldwork

  • Completion

Voor iedere fase wordt de Voortgang getoond. Dit cirkeltje toont het percentage in hoeverre de fase afgerond is, dat wil zeggen, hoeveel documenten afgetekend zijn. Beweeg met de muis over de voortgang om te zien hoeveel documenten nog open staan en hoeveel al zijn opgesteld of gereviewed.
