How to use the OPT Optimiser on new and carried forward engagements?

New Engagement Files

What is the OPT Optimiser?

The OPT Optimiser is an optimising worksheet that asks you a series of questions about the Agile Audit engagement, which will then tailor the engagement relevant to your entity. For example, questions regarding whether or not an engagement is an initial audit will determine whether we accept a client for the first time or whether we are continuing. Other questions towards whether we are a listed entity or are using RFI workpapers will also further optimise whether or not some documents are required. The OPT must be run first before we start utilising any other worksheet.
