Spreadsheets are a key tool in banking. Regulatory mandates such as Basel III, DFAST and CCAR force banks to evaluate how they manage their end user applications in a rigorous control framework.

Insurance

As many insurers come to learn, spreadsheets and other EUC applications lack controls. Applying them manually is far too heavy a burden given their complexity. This contributes to data quality issues, a lack of ownership visibility, and unclear access rights. Furthermore, many regulators require historical detail to gauge completeness— something Excel does not offer.

Utilities

Utility companies use Excel spreadsheets to consolidate financial information, energy trading, and operational data from different regional systems. SOX and regulatory agencies require companies to use a rigorous control framework to make sure that financial reporting, rate case details, energy trade confirmations, and commodity commitments are sound and accurate.
