Data Assurance – Spreadsheet Integrity

The use of spreadsheets has become an integral part of the information and decision-making processes of most companies. Our experiences at companies that need to comply with Sarbanes Oxley 404 show that the number of spreadsheets used just for financial reporting purposes easily exceeds the number of IT systems used for this purpose. However, unnoticed errors in spreadsheets have resulted around the world in significant financial losses and damage to reputation of respectable organisations. We support our clients in detecting and avoiding problems with spreadsheets by a combination of spreadsheet review and the implementation of spreadsheet controls and processes. 

The Spreadsheet Integrity Solution Set

Our solution set combines spreadsheet savvy staff, a proven methodology and automated tools. A project could cover all modules for a multitude of spreadsheets, or be very specific, e.g. tool supported review of the technical integrity of a single spreadsheet.
