5 Installation Obtaining and installing the update from the Web Downloading Load your Web Browser, and go to click on Product Releases from the menu and follow the steps outlined below.

Click on Audit Automation area and then Master Packs, click on PCAS Master Packs. On that page, select PCAS Audit Master Pack v12 December 2017 to download the Master Pack. Select the option to save the file to disk and store it in a temporary directory on your hard drive, (assumed to be C:\TEMP in the following instructions). Installing 1. Click on [Start] and then on Run Enter C:\TEMP\PCAS_Company_Master_Pack_v12.exe, or select the file using the [Browse] button, and click on [OK]. 3.

Installation options The installation program will offer you our standard default directory called PROACC\AUDITV4 on Drive C. If you have installed ProSystem AA, or store your master formats elsewhere, you must change the directory to that which you used for the original installation. The master formats have been allocated the following codes: IPCAS12 Private Company Audit System version 12 If you have created your own master with these codes, installing these masters will overwrite it. If you have done this, you should rename your master formats before proceeding, or contact us for advice on how you can rename our masters. PCAS COMPANY MASTER PACK GUIDE DECEMBER17 1

6 Charge rate tables The master packs contain charge rate tables that will need to be updated to reflect your firm s level of hourly charges. The table may be imported from an existing pack, thereby removing the need for you to enter it manually. To do this, load Audit Automation, log in as the System Manager, and select the option to edit an existing master pack. Enter the code of the pack to be updated and click on [OK]. Select Risk model Look up tables and then the Charge rate table tab. Finally select [Import charge rates] and select the pack from which the table is to be imported. Specialised charts of accounts and working papers If you are importing from a third party accounting package, it is likely that you will either have changed the alpha codes in your master packs, or have imported a new chart of accounts and working papers from a chart update routine. If you have used a supplied routine, simply follow the original instructions to install the updated chart in each of the new master packs. If you have amended the alpha codes, you can copy the amended chart of accounts to the new masters by copying the files called CHART.DBF and CHART.MDX from an old master pack to the new ones now installed. If you require assistance to achieve this, contact the support line. Changing master packs for an existing client To link an existing client to a new pack, proceed as follows: Select File Edit control data Control data from the menu bar. Select the Master pack code edit box and either enter the code of the new pack or select it using the [Pick] button. Click on [OK]. The system will ask you to confirm that you wish to change the master pack in use and then present a dialog with options. If you are changing from one version of a master pack to the next, e.g. IPCAS11 to IPCAS12, select the option to Merge the new master programmes with the current customised programmes, if you are changing to a different pack concept, e.g. PCASNA11 to IPCAS12, select the option to Clear the current customized programmes and Replace the working paper index so that you obtain the revised index from the new master. Note: It is advised that users should not change master packs once planning has been signed off. Prior to planning sign off master packs can be updated but users should be aware of changes in the update that may have an effect on work already completed during the planning stage. Always ensure that you have a current backup of the client s data before changing master packs as this is a complicated process and if anything happens to interrupt the change, the client data may be corrupted. 2 PCAS COMPANY MASTER PACK GUIDE DECEMBER17
