Writing a training manual for accounting

A accounting training manual needs to describe the actual work. In the example used here, the team is carrying out the month-end advisory engagement and producing the client advisory and working-paper pack. The document makes the intended outcome and the people responsible visible before the work moves to its next stage.

The workflow includes client information request, work-paper review, client communication. These steps create different information needs: the engagement partner needs enough detail to coordinate the work, while the preparer needs a clear basis for review. The editable sections let you record those responsibilities without starting from an empty page.
