If your firm does not audit trust accounts, this is the page for you.

The kinds of work

Described concretely, because capability claims tell you nothing. In each case the pattern is the same as the audit tool's: code does the mechanical pass, every figure keeps its provenance, exceptions go to a person, and nothing is silently resolved.

Document and workpaper handling

Client documents arrive by email, portal and shared drive, and someone files them, renames them and checks the set is complete before the work can start. That checking can be done by code: what arrived, what is missing, what period each document actually covers, and where it belongs.

Client onboarding

Engagement letters, ID checks, ATO and ASIC linkages, software access, and the chase for what the client has not sent. The sequence is the same every time and the status of each new client lives in three places. It can live in one, with the chasing done for you.

Supplier invoice processing

Reading a supplier invoice, coding it, matching it to a purchase order or a job, and posting it into the ledger. For your own practice or for clients you keep the books for. Exceptions go to a person; the rest does not.

The recurring report a junior rebuilds every month

The management report, the debtors summary, the WIP and lock-up figures, the board pack: pulled from the practice system and the ledger, formatted, and rebuilt by hand each month. Once the shape is agreed, it can be produced on schedule from the source data, with the figures traceable back to where they came from.
