IRIS has boosted features and compliance compatibility across its accountancy suite to increase customer effectiveness and productivity, according to the UK software group’s spring update.
The interface initiative improves workflows to increase practice efficiencies, making it easier for users to access information and take the right action.
Other key updates include the ability to produce a new FRS 105 detailed balance sheet to micro entity accounts and complete e-filing of charity accounts.
Maximising return on investment
Online video training guides have been added to IRIS OpenLearning to maximise return on investment.
Improvements to client management allow a data comparison between IRIS and Companies House, highlighting any differences for client approval before submission.
Within IRIS OpenSpace, secure e-signature approvals are now available and client working papers can be linked to files in IRIS Docs for a seamless paperless office experience.
Manage and grow practices
Commenting on the release, Sion Lewis, CEO of IRIS Accountancy Solutions, says, “We are continuing our mission to provide best-in-class software solutions to help manage and grow practices.
“Alongside crucial legislative updates, we’ve added more features to our practice management suite improving productivity and enhancing workflows. New client management features provide practice efficiency through automation and integration which helps accountants clients’ businesses to run more effectively.”
Software agent for HMRC
The spring release comes after several other key announcements: the first quarterly filing submission in the MTD programme using IRIS Personal Tax was completed by Rowleys chartered accountants in February 2018.
IRIS has also been named as a software agent for HMRC’s MTD pilot and is one of the first vendors supporting agents with digital submissions.
In March, IRIS launched an exclusive version of the TolleyLibrary Light Service, providing IRIS and PTP customers instant access to tax data and information, as well as HMRC manuals and UK Parliament Acts.
