Work papers that live with the books.
Lead schedules, reconciliations, and supporting schedules — structured, digital, and directly connected to the client's transactions.
Traditional work papers are folders of printed schedules that go stale the moment the books change. Akauntants Work Papers are live — linked to the client's transactions, updated automatically when the underlying data changes. Build your file once. Carry it forward each period.
What it does
Lead schedules
Standard lead schedule templates: Assets, Liabilities, Income, Expenses. Each line ties directly to the client's trial balance.
Bank reconciliation
Structured bank reconciliation work paper. Book balance, outstanding checks, deposits in transit — computed from actual transaction data.
Supporting schedules
Build supporting schedules for any account — depreciation, prepayments, accruals. Formulas link to book values automatically.
Prior period carry-forward
Start each period from the prior period's closing balances. Comparative columns pre-populated. Changes highlighted automatically.
Document attachment
Attach supporting documents (bank statements, contracts, invoices) directly to the relevant work paper line.
Sign-off workflow
Preparer and reviewer sign-off per work paper. Audit trail of who reviewed what and when.
Grace, audit associate
Bank reconciliation in 8 minutes, not 2 hours
Open work papers
Grace opens the client's bank reconciliation work paper for the month. Book balance is already pulled from the ledger.
Outstanding items
She marks 3 checks outstanding and 1 deposit in transit. Akauntants computes the adjusted balance automatically.
Agree to statement
Adjusted balance agrees to the bank statement she uploaded. Green check. Reconciliation is done.
Sign-off
Grace marks it as prepared. Her supervisor reviews, approves, and the work paper is locked for the period.
Result: Bank reconciliation that used to take 2 hours now takes 8 minutes. The audit file is always organized.
