SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you identify spreadsheet formula mistakes and model integrity issues before incorrect numbers spread into decisions or client deliverables.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Formula and error auditing: Detects common Excel issues such as error codes, hardcoded constants inside formulas, inconsistent patterns, off-by-one ranges, broken links, scale/unit mismatches, and suspicious pasted-over values.
  • Scope-based review: Audits a selected range, a single sheet, or the entire workbook with deeper financial-model checks.
  • Financial-model integrity checks (model scope): Verifies balance sheet balance, cash tie-outs, cash flow rollups, income statement tie-ins, circular reference behavior, and reasonableness logic by model type (DCF/LBO/3-statement/merger/comps).

Quick Start

Audit your spreadsheet by running audit-xls on the full model and report any critical balance or cash tie-out issues first.

Frequently Asked Questions about audit-xls

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit an Excel financial model for formula errors and hidden inconsistencies?▼

To audit an Excel financial model, you can run a scope-driven check that flags formula errors, hardcoded constants inside formulas, broken links, and off-by-one ranges. It generates a structured findings report with severity levels and suggested fixes.

Can I check a specific range in Excel for formula errors instead of auditing the entire workbook?▼

Yes, you can perform scope-based review on a selected range, a single sheet, or the entire workbook. Full workbook validation triggers deeper financial-model integrity checks, while range or sheet checks focus on localized formula QA.

What is the best way to verify balance sheet balance and cash tie-outs in a 3-statement model?▼

The best way to verify balance sheet balance and cash tie-outs is to run a full workbook validation. This checks cash flow rollups, income statement tie-ins, and circular reference behavior to ensure integrated model integrity.

Why does my spreadsheet audit flag hardcoded constants inside formulas as errors?▼

Spreadsheet auditing flags hardcoded constants inside formulas because they often represent suspicious pasted-over values or scale and unit mismatches. These hidden inconsistencies can cause critical failures in financial model calculations if left unchecked.
