BAS workpapers help you prepare and review Business Activity Statements using a structured leadsheet and worksheet-based workflow. Below are the key details you need to know when working with this workpaper type.

Workpaper Settings

To set up a BAS workpaper:

  • Select BAS as the Workpaper Type.

  • No trial balance is required for BAS workpapers.

  • Follow the remaining steps in Creating a workpaper to complete the setup.

These settings ensure the correct BAS leadsheet and worksheets appear for the job.

Completing Worksheets

You'll find your worksheets in one of two places:

  • Leadsheet

  • Other Schedules

Your aim is to bring each worksheet to a Reviewed stage, or Exclude it if it’s not relevant for the BAS.

BAS workpapers may include:

  • Creation worksheets – used to calculate amounts that feed into the BAS

  • Generic worksheets – supporting schedules or working areas

Use the leadsheet tools to sort, search, filter, assign, and manage the worksheets as you work through them.
