Option for Manual Entry of Date in Working Papers
An option of entering date in working papers manually rather than auto filling of date based on system date will be helpful for the firms in presenting it audit files to regulatory reviewer. Reason behind is that sometimes firms have to issue audit report on some back date on the insistence of client despite the fact that audit work was performed on current dates and in current scenario it not possible to provide any justification to regulatory reviewer regarding the date issue.

I support this idea because we are facing the same issue as we have updated our audit automation from Borland to SQL version. Now due to some technical problems, SQL keeps crashing and we are forced to keep hold work on excel sheets instead of software. If this option is available, we would be able to mark the exact date when the actual work was performed.
