Accountant Accounting ### "CaseWare Cloud: User-Friendly and Simple" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 21, 2024 CaseWare Cloud offers a user-friendly interface, making navigating and generating financial statements easy. It is better software for audit and accounting firms to compile the financial information and prepare the financial statement as required by CPA Canada. We don't have to worry about anything if we are able to input the correct trial balance. Pros The cloud version is elementary and straightforward. I used the desktop version earlier, but it was very easy to navigate the software and data after we switched to the cloud version. I also worked to get financial statements from the provided trial balance and other information. Cons There is no such thing that disappoints me about caseware cloud.

Independent Reviewer Accounting ### "CaseWare Working Papers is the best software for drafting annual financial statements " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 26, 2023 CaseWare Working Papers is an excellent piece of audit software, and it is ideal for drafting annual financial statements for clients. As long as Working Papers are kept up to date with the latest patches and software updates available, the annual financial statements will be in compliance will all relevant accounting standards and legislation. For example, recently in South Africa, the company tax rate was updated from 28% to 27% (in the past year, February). Since updating to the latest version of CaseWare Working Papers, all templates have been updated to incorporate this change in tax legislation. I don't have to stress about compliance issues, as Working Papers stays up to date with all the latest changes. Pros Throughout my 3 years of audit articles, I used CaseWare Working Papers to perform audits (documentation of all audit work performed was done in Working Papers) and draft annual financial statements. In my current role, Working Papers are mostly used for just drafting of the annual financial statements for clients. I enjoy using CaseWare Working Papers to draft financial statements, because all relevant standards are available, and templates can be easily loaded into the program when needed. In addition, annual financial statements can be entirely customized according to client preference, while taking into consideration compliance with the relevant standards. Cons There are no issues that are noteworthy. It is just a pity that CaseWare Working Papers cannot be 100% integrated into my own audit firm's in-house developed audit software. Other than that, CaseWare Working Papers is a very good audit software.
