Link a Dossier to an Accounting System or Import an Audit File
In this step, the company's basic and financial data is added to the Dossier.
Factview always processes data per financial year. In most cases, this is a calendar year, but it can also be a non-calendar financial year. In that case, the Dossier's basic settings must be configured before importing data.
