Exciting new feature
We have also developed tailoring and customisation tools within the Assurance Review Engagement Manual to help you filter out the irrelevant parts of the Accounts disclosure checklists through a series of questions. These are available in the 'Customise' screen within the menu on the right.
By selecting 'Yes' to the question 'Would you like to tailor your accounts disclosure checklist through a series of questions?', you will then be asked a series of questions. Answering these subsequent questions will filter down the disclosure checklist so that only the checklists / sections you require will be shown / available to download / included within the checklist downloaded.
