Abstract

There are five major problems with spreadsheets:

  • The potential for errors.
  • Lack of security.
  • The absence of an audit trail.
  • The misperception that spreadsheets are not an enterprise resource.
  • Productivity issues.

We will consider each of these in turn, before considering some other management issues related to spreadsheets.
