WIP Aging report

 

The Work in Progress Aging report provides an aged listing of client unbilled time and disbursements.  This information is important for billing purposes because it allows you to view a client’s unbilled transactions to determine which files should be billed.  The report also includes each client’s responsible lawyer, area of law, total funds in regular trust, total funds in term trust and accounts receivable balances.
