The “Faster audits, lower handicap” tool.

‍

Let’s keep it real, auditing can be a bit of a grind. Don’t you think?

‍

You’ve stared at a sea of Excel data and felt the will to audit draining out of you, haven’t you? And I don’t think you’re alone.

‍

Yes Christiaan, but WTF’s your point?

‍

And that’s why you invested in our handy little plug-in for Excel.

‍

You want to save time, cut down on repetitive tasks, and stop making basic errors that creep in as the monotony of an audit hits its peak, right?

‍

If that’s true The Audit Toolbar and you should be best friends. I’m just checking to see if that’s true and to see that you’re getting the most out of it.

‍

You got started right?

‍

You’re up and running, aren’t you? There’s no excuse

‍

It’s easy to use, it’s very simple to install, and you don’t need to learn a whole new software package.

‍

It’s as easy as plugging it into your existing Excel setup and letting it do its thing. There’s no steep learning curve. If you know how to use Excel, you’re already halfway there.

‍

So I’m assuming that all went well.

‍

Is it earning its keep?

‍

The Audit Toolbar has one job: getting you through audits faster and with fewer headaches (and more sleep). Is it doing that job?

‍

Are you using it to its full potential? Here’s a quick nought to sixty reminder of how it should be helping.

‍

• Data Cleansing: Turn a messy general ledger into clean audit-ready data in seconds. No more late nights chasing random errors.
• Ledger Analysis: Ever find yourself chasing down odd entries that don’t add up? The Audit Toolbar takes you straight to the real issue.
• Automated Audit Trails: The Audit Toolbar logs everything, so you’re never left scrambling to explain adjustments after the fact.
• Working Papers with no work: Lengthy working papers (with tick-marking and legends) are now press-button simple.
• Sampling made simple: Whatever your go-to sampling method, The Audit Toolbar will serve samples on a plate at the click of a mouse.

‍

 And that brings me to golf

‍

If you’ve got it doing all that, then you should be getting back time, and lots of it.

‍

Auditors already using The Audit Toolbar are phoning us from the golf course at 3 o’clock on a Friday afternoon to tell us it can shave up to 40 hours off their audit. Maybe that’s you.

‍

How do I know if I’m getting the most out of it?

‍

There’s a few things you’ll notice.

‍

You’ll have spare time you can use to, you know, actually analyse the audit rather than have a running battle with Excel.

‍

Or to have more dinners at home with your partner, or hit the golf course on Friday afternoon without worrying about the phone ringing.

‍

On top of that, your audits should be cleaner and more accurate.

‍

No more lying awake at 3.00am wondering, “What have we missed?”

‍

Are we good?

‍

If once you’ve been down that two-minute checklist, you think you’ve nailed it, that’s great. Enjoy the golf course

‍
