### CaseWare Working Papers is the best software for drafting annual financial statements

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Maureen P.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Accounting
- Company size: 201-500 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: May 2023
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

CaseWare Working Papers is an excellent piece of audit software, and it is ideal for drafting annual financial statements for clients. As long as Working Papers are kept up to date with the latest patches and software updates available, the annual financial statements will be in compliance will all relevant accounting standards and legislation. For example, recently in South Africa, the company tax rate was updated from 28% to 27% (in the past year, February). Since updating to the latest version of CaseWare Working Papers, all templates have been updated to incorporate this change in tax legislation. I don't have to stress about compliance issues, as Working Papers stays up to date with all the latest changes.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Throughout my 3 years of audit articles, I used CaseWare Working Papers to perform audits (documentation of all audit work performed was done in Working Papers) and draft annual financial statements. In my current role, Working Papers are mostly used for just drafting of the annual financial statements for clients. I enjoy using CaseWare Working Papers to draft financial statements, because all relevant standards are available, and templates can be easily loaded into the program when needed. In addition, annual financial statements can be entirely customized according to client preference, while taking into consideration compliance with the relevant standards.

#### Cons

There are no issues that are noteworthy. It is just a pity that CaseWare Working Papers cannot be 100% integrated into my own audit firm's in-house developed audit software. Other than that, CaseWare Working Papers is a very good audit software.

### CaseWare Cloud: User-Friendly and Simple

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Baburam B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Accounting
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: December 2024
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

CaseWare Cloud offers a user-friendly interface, making navigating and generating financial statements easy. It is better software for audit and accounting firms to compile the financial information and prepare the financial statement as required by CPA Canada. We don't have to worry about anything if we are able to input the correct trial balance.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The cloud version is elementary and straightforward. I used the desktop version earlier, but it was very easy to navigate the software and data after we switched to the cloud version. I also worked to get financial statements from the provided trial balance and other information.

#### Cons

There is no such thing that disappoints me about caseware cloud.

### Not Intuitive and Poor Training

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Kelli M.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Insurance
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: July 2020
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

We have been able to audit items that would not have been able to be done any other way and it has greatly improved our ability to complete certain tasks. Besides the need for training to use the software and the training available being horrible, it is a useful product.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

It provides the ablility to compare two large data sets relatively easily.

#### Cons

I have been using and testing software for about 25 years and this is least intuitive software I have every seen. It is buggy to change connections or setup connections especially with ORACLE databases. We paid for users to be trained and the training was terrible. It was a waste of money to pay for employees to travel and sit in a training for a week and the teacher was horrible. It was a huge disappointment and no one at the company seemed to care. This instructor had a reputation of being terrible according to others in the class with our employees.

### user friendly analytics software

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Ivan V.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Law Practice
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: December 2018
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Overall the software is great because it has been developed with the end user in mind. If I were to choose between IDEA and other auditing and data analytics software I would prefer IDEA because it offers a comprehensive set of features for data audits.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

First off, the documentation of the software is comprehensive and clear. Secondly the software allows auditors to work on the host locally as well as using a server, allowing entire teams to share data together. Finally the software supports an extensive list of data formats, from XML to different kind of database formats and as a bonus it has scripting options.

#### Cons

When working with a remote server, the software tends to lock up during data load. This ensures the integrity of the data, but it's makes the user feel as if the software is unresponsive.

- Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years

#### Ratings breakdown

- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It made preparation of financials seamless. Eliminated common errors and improved the standard of the financials including IFRS updates.

#### Cons

Not an easy software to teach first timers. One needs an environment where they will use the software on a daily basis to grasp the concepts.

#### Reasons for choosing Caseware

I was familiar with the product from my auditing years.

#### Reasons for switching to Caseware

These two were not packed to assist financial reporting. One had to build their own non responsive financial report.
