Engagement CS
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
What it is
Engagement CS is financial audit management software for audits, compilations, reviews, and tax engagements. Its paperless workflow follows work from setup through archiving and includes diagnostics, audit checklists, templates, review workflows, and audit reporting. Teams share access through one central binder. Workpaper tools include importing balances, rolling papers forward, tracking, routing, and recording sign-off. Engagement CS integrates with Microsoft Office and, according to its web demo, PPC Checkpoint Tools and SMART Practice Aids. The software is listed for web and Windows with hybrid deployment. Thomson Reuters offers a cloud trial that runs on a remote server accessed over the internet; a browser add-in downloads to the local PC for connection. Trial data is erased between visits, and the cloud trial cannot save or restore databases from a local workstation or LAN drive. A separate download trial requires an account login or contact form. The product is paid with pricing on request, and implementation consulting includes training, advice, and workflow guidance.
