How do I carry forward an audit if the administration platform has changed during the year

When an SMSF Audit file is carried forward, the Trial Balance import method will default to the same method used in the prior year file. So how do you carryforward an audit file when the fund has changed administration platforms during the year?
First, you need to ensure that the Fund entity you are attempting to import has the same Entity Number as the fund in the administration platform - check this by browsing to the Entities screen and locating the fund.
If the Entity Number does not match the number of the fund in the new administration package, change the number as follows:
  1. In the Entities screen, select the entity by ticking the checkbox to the left of the entity.
  2. Click the Edit button

  3. In the Number field, change the Entity Number.
  4. Click Save to return to the Entities screen.
After ensuring the entity number in CaseWare Cloud matches the one used in the new administration platform, perform a Fund import using the appropriate method found here on our CaseWare Education site.

The import process will create the new engagement file under your existing fund entity, and the new engagement file will carryforward data from the prior year file.
