Finalize only after the accounting data, mappings, review work, checklists, and report have been completed. Finalization locks the statement and preserves the closing output.

Prepare the report

Open Report and generate or regenerate the financial statement after the latest approved changes. Review the complete report, including current and comparative amounts, headings, notes, disclosures, page flow, and the reporting period.

Use the PDF or Word export when an offline review is required. Make any corrections in the statement workflow and regenerate the report before finalizing.

Assemble the compliance pack

Open Finalize and select the content required for the engagement. The core pack includes the financial statement and workpapers. Depending on the workflow, you can also include a transaction list and the balance-sheet and income-statement source report.

Add supporting documents from the client workspace and relevant checklist attachments. Include only the approved evidence needed for the final file, and confirm that every attachment belongs to the correct client and reporting period.

Review the draft

  1. Create the draft compliance pack.
  2. View or download it.
  3. Check that the report and workpapers open correctly.
  4. Confirm the included support, filenames, client, and period.
  5. Resolve any missing or obsolete documents before continuing.

The draft is the final quality-control point. Do not finalize merely because every file generated successfully.

Finalize the statement

When the draft is complete and approved, select Finalize Statement. The finalized form becomes read-only, and the compliance-pack ZIP is available from the form list for download.

If changes are needed later, use Clone from the form list. The clone is an editable draft, while the finalized statement and its pack remain unchanged.
