What are worksheets?

The worksheet screen is one of the main components of Cimplico Workpapers, and is likely to be where the majority of work is conducted from. It's where the preparation work is done and is the vehicle for facilitating the evidencing process.

What's in a worksheet?

Every worksheet has three primary sections.

  • Header: Worksheet information and action buttons

  • Tabbed Content: Dependent on the type of worksheet selected

  • Sidebar: Location for internal comments, client queries and review conditions

What are the types of worksheets?

Worksheet Types

Purpose

Default Worksheets

Used for preparing trial balance accounts and reconciling trial balance figures back to supporting evidence.

Generic Worksheets

Used to document working notes or supporting information that doesn’t require reconciliation amounts.

Inter-Entity Worksheets

Used to ensure a trial balance account in one entity aligns with one or more trial balance accounts in another entity.

Where are worksheets located?

Worksheets in Cimplico Workpapers are organised into two main areas based on their purpose:

  1. Trial Balance tab

    • Contains worksheets linked to specific accounts from your trial balance.

    • These are typically Default Worksheets, as they are automatically assigned, but they can be changed to Generic Worksheets or Inter-Entity Worksheets if desired.

  2. Other Schedules tab

    • Houses Generic Worksheets for non-account-specific tasks.

    • Ideal for documenting and reviewing additional work that doesn’t directly tie to the trial balance.
