On March 9th we added a new working paper to Jazzit Fundamentals to analyze business use of home and vehicle (JZBUHV).  This template includes an area to calculate automotive expenses on a per km basis as well as expense groups which can have a specified percentage of the total deducted for personal use.

Jazzit has released an update on February 16, 2012 for the Jazzit Fundamentals now available for download.  

Included in this update is a new template (JZQS) for engagement queries.  This template allows the reviewer to quickly note outstanding queries on key areas of the file and trial balance accounts.  Sections are flagged in red when there are outstanding queries.  We have also responded to client requests and added the option to carry balances forward indefinitely in the prepaid expenses and deferred income working papers.  Simply leave the starting and ending balances blank to carry the amount paid/received forward to the next year. http://www.accountants-templates.com/members/content/download/Arialup/Date.pdf

As you know, Jazzit helps practitioners transition to ASPE. As you transition from differential reporting to accounting standards for private enterprises (ASPE), you need to make a number of changes to the financial statements. In case you missed it on our website, here's a step-by-step process using Jazzit templates.

As well, we've prepared some notes regarding mandatory ASPE adoption and transition for annual financial statements, including key dates. Read them here.

We are excited to announce that we now have over 5,000 users of our Jazzit Templates! Jazzit opened it's doors in 2000, and over the last 11 years, we've delivered premium CaseWare templates to firms across Canada, helping with increased productivity, increased consistency across your firm, and increased customer satisfication from your own clients. We're very proud of our history, the intuitive workflow in our templates, and our world-class service.

We could do none of this without YOU, of course. Thanks for being our customer; we look forward to many more years of being your partner in our mutual success.

As part of our continuing journey, you'll see us rolling out a number of new changes at Jazzit over the next few months, starting with a slight name change (from "JAZZ-it!" to "Jazzit"), and our new logo. Hope you like it!
