Using the Company Data Auditor Assistant

The Company Data Auditor Assistant provides a high level integrity check of the data contained in your MYOB Company File. This gives you and your accountant added assurance of the integrity of the data.

There are three windows in the Assistant:

• The Company File Overview presents a compilation of basic information about your data file.

• All the accounts that can be reconciled, that is, accounts with the type of Bank or Credit Card, are listed in the Account Reconciliation Review.

• The Data Exception Review checks all your transactions for a variety of criteria.
  
  Example: The Review compares the total of all the balances from all your customer cards with the current balance of the linked receivables account and checks whether or not the two amounts match.

The Assistant walks you through each section step by step. If you need to know more about a particular step in the Assistant, click the Help button at the bottom of the Assistant window.

The final results of this process (with the example used above):

1. For each of the Review's criteria, an indication as to whether or not any exceptions were found (a question mark if exceptions were found; a check mark if none were found).
   
   Example: The customer balances do not match the linked receivables account balance. A question mark appears.



2. If there are exceptions, a link to a report detailing the exceptions is provided.
   
   Example: A link to the Receivables Reconciliation Exceptions report. As well as including the customer balances and the linked account balance, this report displays transactions that may have caused the out of balance status.
