Financial Spreadsheets are color coded
Blue = input Black = calculation
Before you enter anything in a cell, make sure you are not overwriting a formula.
Use Copy, PasteValues from the Stewardship Ribbon so that you don't overwrite formats
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 you print fit-to-page the font becomes microscopic and neither you, I, nor the client, can read it without using a magnifying glass. 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.

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.
