Retain Client Budget Amounts (checkbox). If you generate 
financial information for a CBS client who uses a budget that you do 
not maintain within Write-Up CS, you can preserve the client’s 
budget amounts by marking this checkbox.

Note: The client cannot enter budget amounts, but they can use the 
Budget Options for Fiscal Year End Close dialog (accessed by 
clicking the Budget Options button on the Financial Statements tab 
of the File / Company Properties dialog in CBS) to maintain budget 
amounts. 
It is important to note that if the GL date in CSA is in an historical 
fiscal period compared to your client’s current export period, the 
import and subsequent posting of current activity would rerun the 
client’s year-end close based on the newly imported balances. The 
year-end close uses the budget options as selected in the Financial 
Statements tab of the File / Company Properties dialog in CBS. By 
default, that setting is Use budget provided by my accountant and 
it overrides the Retain Client Budget Amounts setting in 
Accountant’s Assistant, causing the budget balances to be replaced 
with the balances you provided. Should this inadvertently override 
the client’s calculated budget, you can change the year-end budget 
option and regenerate a transfer file with the prior-year balances for 
the client to import into CBS and re-establish the client budget 
amounts.
