A finished Schedule FA workpaper, before you ask a client for anything

This is what a chartered accountant receives after uploading a Charles Schwab, Interactive Brokers, Morgan Stanley Shareworks, E*TRADE or Fidelity NetBenefits statement — Table A3, Table A2, the dividend working, and a downloadable Excel workbook. The only difference from a real filing is the inputs: the statements behind it are invented, so nothing here belongs to anyone.

The figures are not invented. They are computed by the same engine that runs on real statements: one Table A3 row per purchase lot, each converted at the State Bank of India TT-buying rate published for its own date; a peak value taken as the daily maximum of price × that day’s rate over the days each lot was actually held; dividends converted at the preceding month-end rate; and a closing total that reconciles against the account’s own year-end portfolio value.

The account holds four fictional US securities across five purchase lots — including one bought in 2024, whose 2024 statement is in the sample so its cost basis can be established — plus dividends with US withholding and one partial sale. The rates are the real published SBI rates for those dates. Download the workbook to see exactly what your CA opens; every sheet in it is stamped as a sample and it can never be filed.
