What’s NEW with CCH Axcess™ Knowledge Coach 2020

Knowledge coach titles

In 2019, Wolters Kluwer introduced CCH Axcess™ Knowledge Coach. The first audit module in the award-winning CCH Axcess™ cloud-based platform, this solution is miles and miles ahead of any competitor.

Equally important to note is that Knowledge Coach – for both CCH® ProSystem® fx and CCH Axcess™ – utilizes the Knowledge Based Audit methodology and associated KBA titles. Further, that content is the same expert content used in CCH® Account Research Manager® modules. In addition, the KBA methodology and its titles – written by practicing CPAs – provides the auditor an integrated set of procedures from pre-engagement through evaluating, concluding and reporting. Notably, the KBA methodology framework helps firms:

  • Efficiently and effectively manage the auditing standards
  • Ensure that important information is not overlooked or hidden in the details of numerous checklists and forms

Cathy Rowe, CPA, CA and Director of Accounting and Audit Product Management at Wolters Kluwer has this to say. “CCH Axcess™ Knowledge Coach is the next building block in our Integrated Audit Approach. This integrated approach helps auditors realize the full benefits of the KBA Methodology. This patented and award-winning methodology is a dynamic risk-based auditing process developed specifically in response to the AICPA’s risk assessment standards.”
