How Much Risk Is Hiding in Your Spreadsheet Environment?
A practical diagnostic for senior FP&A leaders who need to know whether their spreadsheets represent routine friction or enterprise-level exposure.
Your ERP is governed. Your spreadsheets aren't.
Yet Excel is where the final shaping, reconciliation, and presentation of your most consequential numbers actually happens: close packages, board reports, forecasts, regulatory submissions.
Over time, those spreadsheets quietly become infrastructure. And infrastructure without governance creates risk.
Three risk domains. One diagnostic.
This guide helps you assess spreadsheet exposure across three enterprise risk domains:
Structural Risk
Your close is slow, your workbooks are fragile, and no one can fully explain how the numbers are produced
Process Risk
One person’s absence or one missed step can break your entire reporting cycle
Control Risk
Version confusion, hidden data, and audit gaps keep surfacing in files that leadership depends on
What’s inside:
- Real-world examples drawn from client experiences
- A five-stage diagnostic flowchart to evaluate your exposure level
- A framework for determining when a spreadsheet should be treated as a managed enterprise asset
