Corvallis, Ore. (Business Wire) - February 27, 2008 - RedRover Software Inc, a provider of productivity tools for spreadsheet quality control, announced today that its flagship product, RedRover Audit, is now available for purchase from box344.bluehost.com/~redrover. RedRover Audit is a powerful yet simple-to-use spreadsheet auditing tool that operates as a complement to Microsoft Excel. RedRover Audit is designed to give those who review or certify Excel spreadsheets the confidence that formulas, data and logic are accurate.
“Companies spend thousands of dollars and hours each year to audit their financial and operational spreadsheets. Unfortunately, these costs are rising because of the widespread ramifications spreadsheet errors can have in terms of lost revenue or harm to a company’s reputation,” said Matthew Johnen, chief executive officer of RedRover Software Inc. “RedRover Audit renews confidence in spreadsheet content. This powerful and intuitive spreadsheet auditing tool reduces risk and ensures better compliance with corporate policies or regulatory requirements.”
Key features of RedRover Audit:
- Visually depicts spreadsheet by regions, making it easier to understand how a spreadsheet is constructed;
- Presents a highly intuitive visual “heat map” overlay which shows potential problems by likelihood of risk;
- Makes navigation easy through multiple worksheets and workbooks;
- Pinpoints inconsistencies by examining underlying data and antecedents, not just formulas;
- Allows groups to work together to track and review approvals cell-by-cell for improved audit compliance.
About RedRover Audit - Confident Accurate Spreadsheets
RedRover Audit is a productivity tool that runs on the desktop as a complement to Microsoft Excel. Designed for those who build, review, or certify Excel spreadsheets, RedRover Audit visually guides reviewers through a structured process or audit, tracks progress cell by cell, and enables point-and-click navigation to flagged cells. Based on ten years of algorithmic and Excel usage research, RedRover Audit uses sophisticated logic that is completely independent of Excel and results in higher-level functionality and accuracy.
“As a CPA, the way RedRover Audit visually highlights cells is extremely helpful for a quick review of a spreadsheet,” said Elizabeth Schellberg, principal at Tatum LLC. “While many formulas I review are not errors, per se, they are often inconsistent. By seeing and correcting inconsistencies, I can create workbooks that avoid errors from top to bottom.”
