FAQ — common questions answered

4–8 weeks elapsed for a small Oman SME (revenue OMR 1–5M); 8–16 weeks for mid-size; 16+ for listed. Most of the time is fieldwork (procedures + evidence) and review iterations.

You click Auto-seed workpapers (Phase 3) and the system creates 12 workpapers + 79 procedures + maps every account to its lead schedule. From there, you walk each workpaper, post AJEs, build FS + notes, sign off, and issue the report.

You can mark a workpaper N/A — does not apply with a written reason (e.g. K-100 Going Concern N/A because no indicators). The system records the N/A in the audit-completion summary. Don't skip silently — N/A with reason protects you.

No. Ask for the full GL chart of accounts (~250+ rows). A summary TB hides the detail your audit needs. If they refuse, document the scope limitation.

Send it back. The client's GL is broken (sub-ledger not posted, transposition error, etc.). Don't try to "make it balance" yourself — you'd be modifying client data. Get them to fix it and re-export.

Click Upload new version. The original TB is preserved as v1. Your existing AJEs auto-rebase against v2. Audit log captures the version change.

You can add procedures to any workpaper, attach extra evidence, write longer conclusions. The 12 templates are the firm-wide starter — your engagement file is yours to tailor.

Click Raise AJE from the procedure form. The AJE pre-links to that workpaper + procedure. Save as proposed, discuss with client, mark posted if accepted, passed_unrecorded if immaterial, management_override if rejected.

You can — but the system stamps you as the performer with today's date. If you don't have evidence yet, leave the tick off and add a comment on the procedure noting what's pending.

passed_unrecorded = below materiality, you decide not to pursue. management_override = above materiality, client refuses. Different audit consequences — passed is fine if aggregate is below materiality, override may force a qualified opinion.

Yes — change status from posted back to proposed. The Adjusted TB recomputes immediately. Audit log captures the reversal with reason. Don't do this casually — every change is on record.

No. Each role signs from their own login. The signature stamps the logged-in user — signing for someone else is a regulatory red flag and is captured in audit logs.

Only super_admin / partner can unlock. Click Unlock on the locked workpaper, supply a written reason > 50 characters. All sign-offs are revoked-but-preserved; full re-sign-off chain required to lock again.

No. EQCR is mandatory for listed entities + high-risk engagements per ISA 220.A52. For most Oman SME audits, partner sign-off is the final stage.

Almost always in the FS-line mapping (Phase 6). Open FS Statements → Mapping, run validate. The system pinpoints which account is misclassified or unmapped.

One of three causes: (1) a non-cash item in SPL not classified correctly, (2) a movement in PPE missing the cash component, (3) financing transaction not categorised. The validator pinpoints which one.

Yes. AuditPro auto-drafts standard wording per opinion type (clean / qualified / adverse / disclaimer); you customise as needed. Most firms keep firm-vetted standard wording and only edit fact-specific sections.

7 years from the audit-report date per ISA 230 + Oman OAAA. The system stamps retention_until = report_date + 7 years automatically. Auto-purge flags after retention; partner approves before physical delete.

Open the archive (it's stored in storage/archives/ and synced off-site). Verify SHA-256 matches the manifest. Provide the ZIP. The audit log inside is the proof of work.

Off-site backup runs nightly via rclone to your configured remote (B2 / S3 / Wasabi). 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, 2 media, 1 off-site. Do quarterly restore drills to verify it actually works.

9 default roles: super_admin, partner, manager, senior_auditor, staff_auditor, accountant, admin_staff, read_only — and per-engagement overrides. RBAC is permission-based; each role grants a set of module.action codes (e.g. m19.workpaper_sign_partner).

No. EQCR must be independent — different partner, no involvement in fieldwork. The system enforces this at sign-time.

Oman CCL Article 132: 10% of net profit each year transferred to legal reserve until reserve = 1/3 of share capital. AuditPro auto-computes the transfer; you confirm posting in workpaper I-100 Equity.

VAT is not in the FS lines — it's a current liability (output VAT − input VAT). The J-100 Tax workpaper reconciles VAT returns to the GL VAT control account. Per RD 121/2020.

3 decimal places (e.g. 14.523) — Oman Rial has fils as the sub-unit (1000 fils = 1 OMR). All money columns in AuditPro are DECIMAL(18,3); bcmath handles arithmetic to avoid float errors.

No — AuditPro is a server-side web application. It needs network access to the firm's server. For field visits where Wi-Fi is unreliable, use a 4G hotspot. The system auto-saves frequently to minimise data loss.

For SME + mid-size audits — yes. For very large multinational consolidations or Big-4 standardised methodologies — those firms typically use their proprietary platforms. AuditPro fits the 95% of Oman audit-firm work between those extremes.
