Working Papers are the auditor's evidence pack. Not the report sent to the client, the proof behind it.

CORAA Schedule III Balance Sheet with three-level drill
01·Lead schedules

Three-level drill from balance head to voucher.

Lead schedules compose per Schedule III balance head from the mapped ledger data. Click any balance head to expand to its constituent ledgers; click any ledger to see the parties; click any party to see the source vouchers. Three levels deep, all live formulas, tie-out enforced at composition.

  • Per Schedule III balance head, Equity, Borrowings, Trade Payables, Receivables, etc.
  • Three-level drill: balance head → ledgers → parties → vouchers
  • CY and PY columns with variance highlight
  • Tie-out enforced at composition, Assets must equal Equity + Liabilities
  • Click to expand, click to drill, click to source

Reclassify a ledger in Ledger Mapping, every dependent Working Paper recomposes automatically.

Notes to Accounts with party-level ageing breakdown
02·Sch III amendment 2021

Trade receivables and payables ageing, bucket by bucket.

The Sch III amendment 2021 mandates specific ageing buckets, under 6 months, 6 months to 1 year, 1-2 years, 2-3 years, and over 3 years. CORAA composes the buckets automatically with Secured / Unsecured / Doubtful splits for receivables and MSME / non-MSME splits for payables per the MSMED Act 2006.

  • Receivables ageing buckets per Sch III amendment 2021
  • Secured / Unsecured / Doubtful split for receivables
  • MSME / non-MSME split for payables per MSMED Act 2006
  • Section 41(1) cessation candidates flagged for over-3-year payables
  • Section 15 MSMED interest disclosure

Party-wise ageing once the Party Master is loaded. Bill-wise precision once the Bill Register arrives.

Frequently asked

Answers, up front.

Working Papers are the audit firm's reference workbooks, lead schedules, ageing breakdowns, fixed-asset roll-forwards. They prove the figures. Reporting is what gets filed externally, Schedule III, Form 3CD, CARO 2020, the Auditor's Report. Working Papers stay with the firm's audit file; Reporting goes to the client, ROC, and the Income Tax department.
Yes. The firm uploads its lead schedule, ageing, and roll-forward templates once. CORAA fills them on every subsequent engagement. Output is standard Excel, saved to OneDrive, SharePoint, or local drive. No proprietary format.
Lead schedules and cash flow workings are available immediately, both compose from BS and P&L movement alone. Party-wise AR/AP ageing becomes available once the Party Master is loaded. Bill-wise ageing and the PPE roll-forward by class become available once the Bill Register and Fixed Asset Register arrive.
Yes. Lead schedules, ageing analyses, and roll-forwards compose from live formulas against the mapped ledger data. Reclassifying a ledger in Ledger Mapping triggers automatic recomputation across every dependent Working Paper. The recompute event is captured in the audit trail per SA 230.
