Control weaknesses are inherent with the use of Excel. Spreadsheets are often prone to human error and lack the rigor of a full-fledged system including consistent processing, change logs, and testing. While some risks can be mitigated (e.g: proper design, maintenance, locking cells, passwords), these controls are only effective to the extent of the designer’s knowledge of controls and risks and their ability to oversee the integrity of the spreadsheets. Organizations often rely on key individuals to develop spreadsheets which can lead to complex and varying model structures that are often only completely understood by the creator. This can lead to difficulty in transferring knowledge, training new employees, and exposure to the departure of key employees. Simfiny is easy to learn, tasks and reports can quickly be transferred to new employees, change logs exist for critical processes, and Simfiny will always process data using consistent and uniform rules.
