After the firm completes its professional process, an authorised user records the UDIN obtained outside AutoFS. The reviewed content is finalised, the financial year is locked and the statement package is bound to its evidence and audit history.
| Package item | Evidence | State |
|---|---|---|
| Balance Sheet | Linked index | Ready |
| Income & Expenditure | Linked index | Ready |
| Notes to Accounts | Linked references | Ready |
| Issued package | Digest on finalise | Pending |
The issued pack should identify exactly what was approved. Locking and hashing make later changes visible while the evidence index keeps the reviewed support with the output.

The financial year, entity and source are selected before the data enters preparation, so the engagement starts with an attributable source rather than an anonymous spreadsheet copy.
Explore step 02A balanced Trial Balance is a starting control, not a conclusion. Exceptions stay visible and must be dealt with before downstream classifications can be relied on.
Explore step 03A suggestion is not an accounting conclusion. The mapping record preserves the firm's decision and the review trail behind each classification.
Explore step 04Financial statements need more than mapped balances. Material judgments, schedules and disclosures remain explicit, reviewable and connected to their support.
Explore step 05A visible hand-off prevents review from becoming an undocumented conversation. Open issues, decisions and the responsible people stay with the engagement.
Explore step 06The issued pack should identify exactly what was approved. Locking and hashing make later changes visible while the evidence index keeps the reviewed support with the output.

Professional boundary: AutoFS supports preparation, evidence and controlled review for eligible Non-Corporate Entities. Applicability, accounting judgments, approval, signature and the UDIN obtained from ICAI remain the firm's responsibility.
