Abstract
The increased use of electronic spreadsheets in companies has helped greatly in financial planning.
But the same tool that is helping companies may also hurt them because of the danger of errors multiplying undetected.
Sample
"If I make these kinds of mistakes, what are other people doing?"
Jonathan Yarmis, a personal computer analyst for General Intrument Corp., is concerned about the errors that can creep into a spreadsheet when it is too widely used, or depended upon too heavily by a company.
