BUT I HAVE A SPREADSHEET…

  • Inefficient and risky: statistically over 90% of all spreadsheets contains errors.
  • Limited ability to streamline FBT / RFBA process.
  • No roll forward, creating risk that closing figures (e.g. odometer readings) may not match opening figures in the following year.
  • Reviews take longer and can cost significantly more when outsourced.
  • Processes can often be person dependent, which creates risk if FBT return preparers leave the organization.
  • Cost of update and review for rate and law changes can be significant.
  • Manual data entry:
    • Time consuming – most data exists in other systems (e.g. payroll).
    • Transposition errors - more detailed review required.
