This is a complimentary resource for Chartered Accountants featuring letters and workpapers to assist with a large number of jobs carried out in public practice on a daily basis.  
 
The following documents are included:

  • Standard letters for many common types of correspondence. These letters can be used as supplied or customised to meet the requirements of your firm;
    •  
  • Standard checklists to assist staff when preparing various financial accounts, tax returns or activity statements. These checklists can be used as supplied or customised to meet the requirements of your firm;
    •  
  • An excel workbook comprising workpapers and lead schedules to assist in completing compliance jobs, such as end of year financial accounts preparation.
Although not designed to be a complete practice toolkit for all situations, these workpapers will act as a guide on how best to manage the completion of standard compliance tasks. By using these resources, you can implement a quality control system allowing confidence in your standard compliance processes.  
 
In some cases, such as completing lead schedules, the files can be directly integrated into the practice without customisation as part of this ongoing Quality Control program.

Benefits of Quality Control 
Having an appropriate system of Quality Control in your practice, and documenting the system, is an essential part of complying with the professional requirements of APES 320 Quality Control for firms. This in turn puts your practice into a good position when the practice undergoes a quality review.  
 
Utilising the documents included as part of Chartered Accountants Practice Workpapers will assist your practice in developing and maintaining appropriate controls with respect to the acceptance and completion of compliance tasks. 
 
Feedback 
The Institute encourages you to provide constructive feedback with respect to this package, as regular future updates are anticipated. Comments may be directed to the Institute of Chartered Accountants Customer Service team at support@icaa.org.au.
