| Abstract: | Spreadsheet programs and microcomputers have revolutionized information
processing in organizations. Users have adopted spreadsheets to solve
problems and circumvent the long delays encountered in dealing with the
traditional information services department. A significant number of
serious errors have been reported through the misuse of spreadsheet
technology. This paper discusses several different contexts for the
development of spreadsheet models and presents structured design
techniques for these models. The recommended approach to spreadsheet
analysis and design encourages the use of a block structure format for
the worksheet and introduces Spreadsheet Flow Diagrams as a systems
design tool. The objective of this design approach is to reduce the
probability and severity of spreadsheet errors, improve auditability and
promote greater longevity for spreadsheet models. |
