Understanding Audit Reports

Print audit reports to compare them with the corresponding history reports. Many audit reports have summary and detail versions. You must select the appropriate reports from the reports model.

You must use the U.S. Year-End Workbench to print audit reports. You can run the demo version of each report that you select, or you can create your own versions of these reports.

Note: To populate the Year-End Report table (F07823), you must submit the Year-End Report (R07823S) Update from the Batch Versions application.

Printing audit reports is similar to using the Reports Only menu selection in the Payroll cycle, with one notable exception: when you create the report model for the year-end ID, you select all of the reports and special forms that you might want to process for that ID. You do not have to run each of these reports every time that you process audit reports. The year-end audit report program enables you to process specific reports from the reports model without having to delete them from the model each time that you process audit reports.

To print reports locally, you must first map R07823 to run locally. Contact your system administrator for assistance.

Note: You can include a version of the Print W-2c program in the reports model. You do not need to process this version initially; however, you might need to print W-2Cs at a later time during the year-end process. To complete year-end processing, include any report or special form version that you need.
