Engagement CS
Engagement CS is financial audit management software that also supports compilations, reviews and tax engagements. Its paperless process tracks work from engagement creation through archiving, with workpaper diagnostics and audit checklists. Teams share access to their work in a central binder. Workpaper tools described in the web demo include importing balances, rolling workpapers forward, tracking and routing work, and recording sign-off. Engagement CS includes workpaper templates, review workflows and audit reporting. The product page says it integrates with Microsoft Office and PPC guidance; the web demo describes links to PPC's Checkpoint Tools and SMART Practice Aids. Thomson Reuters offers a cloud trial that runs on a remote server accessed over the internet, but it cannot save or restore databases from a local workstation or LAN drive, and trial data is erased between visits. Connecting to the cloud trial requires a browser add-in download to the local PC. A separate download trial requires an account login or contact form submission. The product is paid, with pricing on request, and is listed for web and Windows with hybrid deployment.
