CRS Pro Software for the OECD’s AEOI Common Reporting Standard
This early release version of CRS Pro allows users to setup their Filers (Reporting FI's) and import/enter data into each Filer.
Getting Started:
- The CRS Pro software must be installed on a Windows Computer with the Region set to English (please see the bottom of the page for details on how to do this).
- Setup user security when accessing software
- When installing the software, users can select to enable/disable to security.
- Setup Financial Institutions (FI)
- See #1 on the left-hand side of the software. Wherever you see a blue question mark
, click on the icon to view comments pertaining to the fields.
- Import account data from files
- Excel, tab delimited, comma separated values, and pipe delimited files are supported
- A sample import file can be found here : Import_CRS_Example.xlsx
- The sample import file provides examples of how to import account data into the software. CRS allows a single account to have unlimited amounts of Account Holders, addresses, Controlling Persons, and payments made throughout the year – thus there can be many repeating elements which you may or may not require. Essentially, the simplest version of the import is on the first tab (one account = one line in Excel). Then the following tabs outline how you could import multiple payments per each account, multiple Account Holders, multiple Controlling Persons… and so forth.
- Please also see the final tabs for "Types", "CC", and "Currency" for a list of the different attribute types, country codes, and currency codes.
- This same import file is provided when installing the software and is typically found at C:\1099 Pro\ProCRST16\Import\Samples\XLS Samples
- Imports can be tested and then reset / cleared out so that users can test import data and start with a clean slate when ready. Simply choose the "Reset/Void" option at the bottom right of the import screen.
- Manually enter, view, & update individual accounts
- Search for accounts within the software for quick viewing and reference
- Video Tutorial - CRS Pro Tutorials on YouTube
