When help or support is needed first use the “help” icon from within Audit Assistant (bottom right of the screen):
- This connects to relevant articles from our support hub.
- Includes a contextual search function with a number of suggestions.
- If the suggestions are not suitable, use the search bar to access all the content on our support hub:
- The help topic will open in the sidebar, but clicking on the up arrow will open the full article in the support hub.
If browsing for more information go directly to the support hub.
This provides information on:
- What type of work can be done within Audit Assistant.
- Answers to frequently asked questions.
- Services we provide if you are seeking further training.
- Detailed instructions on how to use features in Audit Assistant.
- Articles of interest related to topics like audit principles, COVID, AML to name a few.
The site has been separated into five main categories of which category has its sub-categories. For example, the category Articles has sub-categories for current issues and technical articles for areas of focus such as:
- Less complex entities
- Accounting standards
- Anti-money laundering audits
- And other audit and technical issues
The Q&A section has answers to questions that other users have asked and we feel are beneficial to users especially frequently asked questions.
We recommend looking at all categories especially the Q&A section before contacting us directly as this will speed up the process of obtaining an answer, however, we are always just a click away if needed.
