The Auditor helps to catch errors in the entering of information for U.S. Trustee Forms 1, 2 and 3. The Auditor will search for inaccurate or missing information based on the test options you select.
It checks for incorrect or missing data in:
- Opened/Closed Dates
- Judge information
- Closed Cases with Balances or Remaining Value
- No Asset Cases with Assets or Accounts
- Deposit and Asset Sales link problems
- Claim and Total Paid link problems
- Debtor Tax I.D. Numbers missing
This report essentially looks for what the U.S. Trustee Auditors do, and finds any issues first.
Accessing the Report
From the Trustee Suite Main Menu toolbar, select ‘Reports’, click on the ‘UST Forms’ tab and select ‘Auditor Report (Legacy)’ from the Print Reports screen to invoke the Report Parameters screen (shown below).
Generating the Report
From the Report Parameters screen, populate the following fields:
- Trustee: Select the Trustee number or ‘-All-‘.
- Case: Select the Case via the drop-down box.
- Date Range: Enter the appropriate date range.
- Select (three radio button options and three checkbox options):
- Select ‘Asset Only’, ‘No Asset Only’ or ‘Both’ via the radio buttons.
- Include Cases with TFR Date: Select this checkbox if you wish to include cases with a TFR date in your report.
- Include Estimated Final Report Dates: If you select this checkbox, every case with an EFR date within the specified date range will be listed.
- Include No Asset Cases when NDR > 341A + 60: Select this checkbox if you wish to include No Asset cases when the NDR is greater than the 341 (a) meeting date + 60 days in your report.
- Sort by: Select ‘Case Number’, ‘Case Name’, ‘Condition, Case No.’ or ‘Condition, Case Name’ via the radio buttons. By selecting ‘Sort by Condition, Case No.’ or ‘Sort by Condition, Case Name’, the Auditor will sort “problems” by listing the “condition” (problem) as a heading, then list the case numbers or case names of the cases with that problem.
- Tests to Perform (includes eleven checkbox options and a drop-down menu with three options): Trustee Suite will search for “conditions” that should not exist, such as “Closed Cases with Balances/Remaining Value” or “Deposits without Asset Sales”. The first time you run the Auditor, it is recommended you select ALL the Tests to Perform.
