Financial groupings assignment tool

The 1-302 Financial groupings assignment tool is a new tool that has been added to OnPoint Audit to help end users in assigning accounts to financial groupings and to reuse the assignment decisions in other OnPoint engagements.

The tool allows users to save the assignment selections as a configuration file and use the configuration file in other engagements to improve the efficiency and consistency while assigning accounts across all engagements.

OnPoint CloudBridge - remap file

To provide a more efficient way to transfer financial data for our current desktop users to cloud engagements, the OnPoint CloudBridge file has been updated to include the ability to use a default remapping file when performing the transfer.

The remap file was created using the default Audit US desktop mapping structure and will automatically assign the accounts to the OnPoint Financial Groupings structure during the migration.

For more information about the remap process, see Transfer data from Working Papers to your Cloud engagement.
