Tax Practitioners may strive for a high-performing tax department, but the tools they use may be preventing them from getting there. In this blog, we explore the challenges in using spreadsheets as the primary tool.
Tax, like many parts of any organization, is always looking to improve; where can we do it faster and reduce risk through automation of routine tasks. One of the more regular activities in the tax function, the tax provision immediately comes to mind and is often the first process considered. The tax provision process of most multijurisdictional companies employ Excel spreadsheets to collect, process and consolidate the information required to prepare the tax provision. With such extensive use of Excel, there is always a risk of errors in the process.
The tax provision process typically makes extensive use of Excel spreadsheets and includes extensive use of formulas and/or advanced functions to move data within the template and calculate the provision. Most tax professionals are the template owners and they know their spreadsheets and are intimately familiar with the formulas and functions used. Some of these templates are getting better at documenting the calculations and explaining how data is calculated in a visual manner. No matter how familiar someone is with their template there still exists a risk of an error in formula.
Various studies have been performed to look at the risk of errors in Excel spreadsheets and based on the different studies it is consistent that 85-95% of all spreadsheets have errors in them (Powell, Baker and Lawson, Journal of Organizational and End User Computing, Sept 2009). The main factors that create the errors is the use of formulas, advanced functions used and size of the spreadsheet.
All three of these contributing factors are used extensively in tax provision templates which increases the risk of an error in the tax provision. This applies to any tax provision process built using Excel spreadsheets.
Tax provision templates uses various approaches to bring data into Excel spreadsheets, such as the month end financial results. The process of updating the latest consolidation data uses an extract of the latest month end actual data which is often copied and pasted into the template by the user or tax professional. Sometimes this will require some adjustments to the format due to changes in structures, such as a new account.
More advanced tax provision templates have integrated the ability to pull directly from their ERP, financial reporting tool or consolidation software using an Excel Add-in or direct connections to the data source.
The challenge is there is no control or validation of the latest changes in data that is loaded into the template. Often the tax professional is left having to review the financial data at the last minute to ensure the numbers are updated and if numbers have changed, identify what specifically has changed to confirm there is no tax impact in the change. This has to be managed in all the spreadsheets, as there is no central monitoring process to track the updates in the tax provision process and identify where were the latest changes impacted. With multiple tax provision Excel templates, the risk associated with updating the financial data could never be eliminated.
The challenge is with more maintenance changes the risks of errors increase. During regular maintenance, errors in the tax provision templates often are related to changes impacting the formulas and advanced functions used. As new columns and rows are added or removed in the tax provision templates, the references used (ie. cell based references) are not automatically updated correctly causing errors in the formulas or functionality. Some errors are not always readily identifiable.
Typically, the ability to share a template with others in your local tax department is not an issue as the templates are stored on a central network or cloud storage. The challenge becomes more apparent in a multinational organization which require the sending and receiving of Excel spreadsheets.
With the tax provision Excel templates, security is managed based on restricting access to the file storage location to the identified tax professionals. There is often no security employed in the individual spreadsheets or at the data level in the spreadsheets.
The audit of the formulas and understanding how calculations and data are used is a common challenge for tax templates. Most template owners know their spreadsheets and can walk someone through it. With some organizations, the documentation in the tax provision templates is more complete and thorough to capture the specific steps of the calculations and using visual clues to help users interpret the data calculations and flows.
