Notes for Excel Guy

If you need to enter rows make sure you copy the formulae properly.

In the Transactions tab the position, book value, and BVS columns have formulae that look at the previous row and the following row. Make sure you don't introduce unintended gaps.

Formulae will only work if in date order within issues

Use a font of no less than 8 pts.

PRINT AT 100% ON ALL PAGES

If in any doubt whatsoever stick with the Arial Narrow 10 in the template. Anything smaller will not be accepted. Print size is controlled in the [File][Page Setup] applet.

Signatures

If the same person prepares, audits, and proofreads you won't catch the errors and omissions.

Professionalism

Having one person prepare, audit, and proof and then having different people sign as preparer, auditor, and proofreader constitutes fraud.
