Gold Standard Mapping

If your firm has custom Audit templates, you can use Gold Standard Mapping to map the risks, controls and reportable items in your templates to match the Caseware "gold standard". As a result of this mapping process, Sherlock can retrieve the risks, controls and reportable items from engagement files that are based on the firm template.

To configure Gold Standard Mapping:

1. Ensure that you have the Settings Admin role or equivalent privileges.

2. Open the Cloud menu () and select Settings.

3. Select Sherlock Starter | Gold Standard Mapping.

4. Select the Add Mapping Rule () icon below the applicable mapping type to create a new mapping rule, or the Edit () icon next to an existing rule.

   

   Note: You cannot edit mapping rules with the ACTIVE status.

5. On the Select Source page, select a Working Papers file from the 20 most recent files. CaseView database information loads from the selected file. Select up to 3 applicable groups and a form.

   

   Select Next.

6. On the Map IDs to Targets page, you can establish relationships by mapping IDs to targets. Select the Add ID () icon to the right of a target, then on the Add IDs page, select the applicable IDs to map to the target.

   

   The number next to each ID indicates how many times it has been mapped to a target. Select Add to map the IDs.

   

   • (Optional) Select Assign next to a specific target to assign a value transformation rule. On the Assign Value to Transform page next to the applicable ID, select an existing rule from the drop-down menu, select the Edit () icon to edit an existing rule, or select the Add Transformation Rule () icon to create a new rule. For example:

     

   When complete, select Next.

   Notes:

   • If there are two rules in the DRAFT status for a particular mapping type, selecting ACTIVATE will enable both rules.

   • Once active, you can no longer edit or delete a mapping rule.

   • Each Control, Risk or Management Letter Point can have up to 2 mapping rules.
