Preparing Statutory Accounts Using Sage Records - masson7809 - 09-19-2009

Does anyone know or could they articulate how best to approach the preparation of statutory accounts for a client who uses Sage as their book-keeping solution. Basically i need an idiots guide on the following- Client submits records (year end records) and they are on a Sage. I have copied the statutory accounts trial balance for the client which we prepared last year on our own accounting software package and i have also printed off the trial balance at year end from sage. What next? how do i know that the balance sheet values are correct etc, .i.e that the client has brought forward the correct opening balances as per our statutory accounts last year? what checks should i do for errors made by the client etc? is there a general routine to follow for jobs like these?
