Spreadsheet Bridging & Controlled Flexibility

Spreadsheets are not the problem. Hidden dependency on them is.

In most finance environments, Excel acts as a bridge between systems and as a control surface for management reporting. That can be appropriate — provided ownership, logic, and controls are explicit.

Remarc helps teams:

• Identify where Excel is acting as a system bridge
• Make logic, inputs, and dependencies transparent
• Reduce version risk and undocumented workarounds
• Preserve flexibility while strengthening governance and confidence

Common Remarc applications in this area

• Excel-to-system bridge documentation and control reviews
• Standardized workbook governance (inputs, owners, refresh cadence, sign-off)
• Risk-based prioritization of “must-control” spreadsheets
