How to use it

Use alongside the actual spreadsheet, not in place of it. Record the rules and exceptions that explain your changes.

01

Define the review

Record the source, working copy, scope and question. Identify the columns that define one record.

02

Set the baseline

Record row counts and important checks before you alter the copy. Do not assume a repeated name or blank value is wrong.

03

Keep exceptions visible

Use the register for conflicting IDs, ambiguous dates and decisions that require the data owner.

04

Close with an explanation

Compare the reviewed output with the source and note unresolved questions before handing the work over.

Common questions

Does the worksheet certify the data?

No. It is a process record, not an audit opinion or a certification. The source owner must resolve business rules and ambiguous records.

Can I print and write on it?

Yes. The pages provide labelled writing areas as well as PDF fields. For a digital copy, use a compatible reader and verify that the saved values persist.

Should confidential rows go in the PDF?

Record only the minimum information you need. Prefer row references or a sanitized example when a record contains personal or confidential information.
