Best Practice: Spreadsheet Remediation Guide

Spreadsheet Remediation

A successful spreadsheet remediation program cannot exist without an effective and sustainable spreadsheet risk assessment program. In other words, you cannot have one without the other.

The components of establishing a spreadsheet remediation program will be covered in four phases:

• Phase 1: Spreadsheet Remediation Solution Prerequisites & Planning
• Phase 2: Build a Spreadsheet Risk Assessment Model
• Phase 3: Spreadsheet Remediation Program Design
• Phase 4: Implement & Execute the Spreadsheet Remediation Solution

The concepts presented within are supported by real world examples, sample workflows, and conceptual representations when required.

To be clear, this paper does not seek to provide an ‘off the shelf’ guide or task level project plan. Rather, the reader should gain confidence to begin the process of designing and implementing an enterprise-wide spreadsheet remediation program.
