    Note: that updating a master to this chart will not automatically change the chart of accounts for existing clients that are attached to the master. When you switch from one master to another, you are given the option to clear the current TB and import a new chart of accounts, so it will be possible to automatically update the chart for any existing clients that are changed to the master that you have updated. If IFULL08 is updated then the lead schedules for any existing clients attached to it will no longer work.

    If you wish to update the chart of existing clients without changing the master pack to which they are attached, this must be done with care, especially if they contain released audit journals as doing so would clear the trial balance. You would then need to import the TB from CCH and this may already have been updated for the released journals thereby duplicating their effect in the audit pack. If you wish to update the chart of an existing client linked to the pack, please contact support for assistance.

    It is recommended that a copy of the latest master pack is taken and that this update is applied to the new master pack, this will allow the use of the FRS102 chart of accounts with the new master pack and the existing pack can still be used for audits using the UKGAAP chart of accounts.

    To create a copy of the existing master pack the Create new pack option can be used from the master pack menu.

    Click 'Finish'

    Provided the directory selected contains a master pack, the nominal chart and associated data will be updated, otherwise you will be informed that the installation cannot proceed and the process will abort. Repeat the above process on each company master pack present on the system.

    Note: When we issue pack updates they will contain the original chart and you will need to repeat this procedure to update them to the CCH Accounts Production chart so please retain the installation EXE for future use.

    The CCH Accounts Production chart

    This installation contains a chart of accounts designed to match the chart used in the CCH Accounts Production FRS102 master pack and allows a one-step transfer of data both from and to that program. The installation also includes new lead schedules to work with the new chart of account.

    The audit programmes, checklists and planning schedules remain exactly the same as those supplied in the standard packs, as set out in the Master Audit Pack manual.
