SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Financial models often contain errors that undermine trust, including circular references, broken formulas, and misaligned balance sheets. This Skill provides a disciplined workflow to ingest a model, run structural and integrity checks, identify root causes, and deliver an auditable report.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structural checks verify inputs vs calculations, ensure consistent formulas, and detect hard-coded values.
  • Integrity checks verify that the balance sheet balances, cash flow is coherent across periods, and P&L links are correct; it also generates traceable issue logs.
  • Output & reporting produces an issue log, detailed traces, and an annotated model suitable for client reviews.

Quick Start

Provide an Excel model file and request a full model audit to identify structural and integrity issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check my Excel financial model for errors and balance sheet issues?

Auditing a financial model involves running structural checks to detect hard-coded values and broken formulas, verifying balance sheet alignment, and generating a formal issue log with annotated outputs for review.

What is the best way to find circular references in a 3-statement or DCF model?

Finding circular references requires integrity checks that trace formula dependencies across P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet links, identifying root causes and generating traceable issue logs for the model.

Can I audit an LBO or merger model for hard-coded values and structural integrity?

You can audit LBO and merger models by applying structural checks to verify inputs versus calculations, detect hard-coded values, and enforce consistent formulas across the Excel workbook.

Does this financial model audit work with scenario analyses in Excel?

This audit works with Excel-based scenario analyses by enforcing structural and integrity checks to ensure cash flow coherence, correct P&L links, and accurate balance sheet balances across all scenarios.

Why does my balance sheet not balance when I update my cash flow projections?

Balance sheet misalignments occur due to broken P&L links or circular references, requiring integrity checks to trace formula dependencies, correct structural misalignments, and generate an issue log.

How do I generate an issue log for a financial model audit?

Generating an issue log requires running structural and integrity checks to identify errors, trace root causes, and produce an annotated Excel output detailing all discovered formula and balance sheet issues.
