The following options enable you to indicate whether the engagement is a public or a non-public audit and to enter a report release date. That information is then used to display a reminder when the 45- or 60-day documentation completion date deadline is approaching and the engagement must be wrapped up.
- Audit engagement. Mark this checkbox to indicate that the engagement is an audit engagement.
- Public entity. Mark this checkbox to indicate if the engagement is an audit engagement for a public entity (This checkbox is only available when the Audit engagement checkbox is marked). Leave this checkbox unmarked if the engagement is for a nonpublic entity.
