Lead Schedules

Per Schedule III balance head with three-level drill to source ଭାଉଚର୍.

CORAA Schedule III Balance Sheet with three-level drill

Lead schedules are the ଅଡିଟର୍'s primary ୱାର୍କିଂ ପେପର୍ for every Balance Sheet and P&L head. CORAA composes them automatically from the Universal ଅଡିଟ୍ ଲେଜର୍. Each schedule shows CY and PY columns with variance analysis. Three-level drill: balance head, ଲେଜର୍ under it, parties under the ଲେଜର୍, ଭାଉଚର୍ under the party. Tie-out enforced at composition: Total Assets must equal Total Equity plus Total Liabilities.

  • Per Schedule III balance head, Division I or Division II
  • Three-level drill: line, ଲେଜର୍, parties, ଭାଉଚର୍
  • CY and PY columns with variance flag at 25%
  • Tie-out invariant: Assets = Equity + Liabilities (re-checked on every change)
  • Exports to firm's Excel ଟେମ୍ପ୍ଲେଟ୍ in OneDrive
  • ଲାଇଭ୍ formulas: change ଲେଜର୍ Classification, lead schedules recompute
Two paths, one ledger

The old way, and ours.

Two paths to the same audit conclusion. One leaves traces; the other doesn't.

Traditional

The old way

  • -Lead schedules built by article assistants in Excel
  • -Each schedule a separate workbook with manual VLOOKUPs to the trial balance
  • -PY figures copy-pasted from prior-year ୱାର୍କିଂ ପେପର୍ file
  • -Tie-out checked at the end and reworked if BS doesn't balance
Build ସମୟ: 2-3 ଦିନ per ଅଡିଟ୍. Errors: typical. Tie-out failures caught late.
CORAA

On the Ledger

  • Lead schedules composed from UAL via live formulas
  • PY figures pulled from prior-year audited closing automatically
  • Three-level drill from any line for evidence
  • Tie-out enforced before composition; BS cannot fail to balance
  • Reclassify a ଲେଜର୍ and every dependent schedule recomputes
Build ସମୟ: instant. Errors: arithmetic-impossible. Tie-out: enforced.
How it works

Three steps. Every trace logged.

Step 01

Schedule III mapping drives composition

Once ଲେଜର୍ Classification's Schedule III dimension is set, every ଲେଜର୍ has a Sch III line code. Lead schedules aggregate ଲେଜର୍ by line code using SUMIFS over the Trial Balance.

Step 02

Three-level drill

Click any Sch III line to expand to its constituent ଲେଜର୍. Click any ଲେଜର୍ to see the parties contributing to it. Click any party to see the source ଭାଉଚର୍. Read-only at all three levels; corrections happen via ଲେଜର୍ Classification.

Step 03

Variance analysis built in

CY and PY columns side by side. Variances above 25% flagged for explanation (CARO Rule 11(e) trigger). The variance note feeds CARO 2020 Clause 3(xi)(e) directly.

Inside the module

What you actually get.

Schedule III balance head coverage

Every line code from A1 Equity Share Capital through F7 ଅନ୍ୟ Current Assets, plus P1 Revenue through P9 ଅନ୍ୟ ଖର୍ଚ୍ଚ. Division I for AS; Division II for Ind AS.

  • Division I: Indian GAAP / AS
  • Division II: Ind AS
  • ~90 line codes covered
  • Auto-classification from ଲେଜର୍ Classification

Three-level drill-down

Three levels deep, all read-only. Corrections happen at the ଲେଜର୍ Classification screen, which propagates back to every dependent lead schedule.

  • Level 1: Sch III line totals
  • Level 2: constituent ଲେଜର୍
  • Level 3: parties under each ଲେଜର୍
  • Level 4: source ଭାଉଚର୍ under each party

Tie-out invariant enforced

Total Assets must equal Total Equity plus Total Liabilities. CORAA refuses to mark a lead schedule 'ready' if the tie-out fails by more than ₹1. Same for the P&L bottom line feeding Reserves & Surplus.

  • BS tie-out: Assets = Equity + Liabilities
  • P&L tie-out: bottom line feeds Reserves
  • Cash Flow tie-out: closing cash matches BS
  • Tie-out re-checked on every change

Firm-ଟେମ୍ପ୍ଲେଟ୍ Excel export

Lead schedules export to standard Excel in the firm's own ଟେମ୍ପ୍ଲେଟ୍ format. OneDrive integration means the Excel lives in the firm's cloud, not CORAA's.

  • Drop firm ଟେମ୍ପ୍ଲେଟ୍ once, used thereafter
  • Per balance head export
  • Bundled export for full lead schedule pack
  • OneDrive / SharePoint / local drive
Frequently asked

Answers, up front.

ଲେଜର୍ Classification supports percentage-allocated mapping. For example, an accrual ଲେଜର୍ that's 40% current and 60% non-current gets allocated accordingly; the lead schedule renders both portions on their respective Schedule III lines with the percentage shown in the drill.
Three sources, in priority order: (1) prior-year ଅଡିଟ୍ ରିପୋର୍ଟ uploaded at ଏଙ୍ଗେଜମେଣ୍ଟ୍ Setup, OCR-extracted; (2) prior-year Trial Balance Excel uploaded; (3) prior-year CORAA ଏଙ୍ଗେଜମେଣ୍ଟ୍, if it exists in your workspace. The source is shown next to the PY figure for verification.
ହଁ। Every line supports inline ଅଡିଟର୍ notes that flow into the ଅଡିଟ୍ ୱାର୍କିଂ ପେପର୍ file. Notes are versioned per the ଏଙ୍ଗେଜମେଣ୍ଟ୍ log and visible to peer reviewers.
