Electronic Working Papers for frequent Excel users and Auditors

The ACBA Electronic Working Papers (EWP) package is built for all regular Excel users. It provides project management and integrity tools, indexing and cross-referencing tools and a comprehensive template management system. It is designed to standardise the naming and control of related spreadsheets (called working papers), within a logical but flexible structural hierarchy contained in a single workbook.

Its use is primarily as a contemporaneous and logical record of research and analyses undertaken relative to a particular subject (or EWP Project). These are working papers in the true sense of the word. They show what actually happened (warts and all), not necessarily what you report finally to the outside world.

The 'Controlled Statements' module provides additional functionality for flagging and connecting issues of importance ready for a report. The Help file for this part of the ACBA-EWP functionality is under construction.

This program is an Add-in to the standard Microsoft Excel package. It can be used with any version of Excel as far back as Microsoft Office '97.
