Internal Consistency for Key financial data in Japan's financial statements
Ideally, Internal Consistency works for Key financial data(主要な経営指標等の推移) and creates suggestions automatically.
This category comes at the very beginning of the F/S and auditors review them. This should help them review items that follow afterwards.1 vote -
Recognize Prior Year Consistency in Japan's financial statements.
In Japan's financial statements, FSS does not recognize PYC in B/S, P/L, S/S, Cash Flow Statement and tables in the notes.
Ideally PYC is recognized in those tables and creates suggestions automatically.1 vote -
Ability to move IC tickmarks on "Reference only" side when placing them.
When having the dual-view in IC, it would be user friendly to be able to edit/move/control the tickmarks on the "Reference only" screen instead of having to scroll to the page to move. This was the functionality pre-V6.

Recognize Different Formats of Note Number (ie. B1-1) for FSS IC checks
The note numbers are driven by how Government Treasury (sets the financial reporting requirements for our state entities) has set up their example statements. Sometimes the note numbers are formatted this way (B1-1, B1-2, B1-3, etc) and currently when doing IC test, it does not provide any suggestions. It would be helpful if DataSnipper algorithm can detect these note numbers for IC checks and provide suggestions.

Purge in FSS projects
I would like to check the possibility of automatic purge terms in FSS projects via an administrator.
We cannot retain customer documentation on the machine and this is a normal audit procedure.1 vote -
Version Compare Preview (Dual Page Scrolling)
Currently, Version Compare allows you to see a side-by-side view of the differences between documents only in the preview page.
Once the differences are extracted into the Excel workbook, there's no way to go back to the side-by-side view.
It would be great if we could always go back to the side-by-side view for easy visual comparison.

EXPORT
When clicking on export, there are two options: either export with all tickmarks and findings or export only the findings.
When choosing the second option, not all the comments we made on the report (by right-clicking) are included.
Often, we have comments for the company regarding the design of the report or the text, so it is important that they receive these as well.
I suggest adding an option to specify whether the comment is an exception or just for internal documentation.1 vote -
The tool should allow user to provide IC wherever necessary, without restricting ICs for numbers alone.
Tool to place ICs on repeated information such as company name, year end date, directors' name etc. If a user selects an information and place IC stamp once, then the tool needs to automatically apply ICs throughout the document wherever it is repeating.

FSS - Selecting PY numbers
In some cases the tool is not picking up all the PY numbers in the PY check and then I need to manually add the PY’s. When you have to manually click each item twice (click the number and then click which PY (red or blue) and then click elsewhere in the doc to close the box the pops up, it’s very time consuming. I’m wondering if there’s a way to: a) highlight a series of numbers in a row to apply the tickmark to all at the same time AND b) to automatically have it add the blue PY…

Auto populated comments aren't deleted if the red tickmark changed to blue tickmark
Comment regarding IC red to blue where the comment must be manually removed regarding “internal inconsistency noted”. It would be nice if it could be automatically deleted if the tickmark color changed to blue.

Internal Consistency reading of FN numbers
Could internal consistency read Footnote numbers if they are aligned with the Financial Statement Captions on the face of the FS? In the current state, it has to be in a separate column to activate the automation.

IC Tickmark Hyperlinks in Exported PDF
It would be helpful if reviewers were able to click on a hyperlinked IC tickmark in an exported PDF and have it take them to the other page(s) the value is tied out instead of manually having to search for the tie outs.

Allow for custom tickmarcks to be automatically applied.
After creating a cutom tickmark, it is not possible to make it the default tickmark for every new tickamrk applied. You would have to select each and every one of the new tickmarks (one by one) and change it to the custom tickmark created.

When automatic suggestion for internal consitency are not given (which is the case in 99%) a user should manually do the ticking. In FSS in DS version 6 the user first needs to click on the number, then on the reference and then on the tickmark. This is one click more than in version 5.
It would be better if a user could click on the number in the balance sheet and P&L and immediatly can click on the reference and makes the tickmark. And the tickmarking is done automaticaly when there is only one reference.

Recognize Note References in Parentheses in FSS IC Test
Some financial statements have notes references in parentheses next to each line item. The IC test in FSS does not recognize these note references because it is not in a note references column format, and does not provide suggestions. It would be great for DataSnipper to be able to recognize note references in this format in a Financial Statement so that the IC test can provide suggestions.

Setting up an undo button
It has happened to me several times that I have accidentally clicked on "Remove Suggestion", although I actually only wanted to change or remove a tick mark. I have not yet found a way to restore a suggestion other than by completely reinstalling it. An undo button would be helpful here, or the implementation of a keyboard shortcut such as Ctrl+Z. Ultimately, this applies to all entries in the tool, not just the suggestions.

Password protection
V6
I have mentioned this to my account manager but we need to have some form of password protection on Version 6 FSS projects.
We audit firms which hit different criteria and need to lock down audit files. The FSS component being changed now will make it hard to control as its not longer associated to the workbook (which was in a locked audit file).
We wont be using v6 until something like this is enabled unfortunately.

Internal consistency check
Using the internal consistency (IC) check, it’s the same onerous clicking problem as the PY consistency tool. You have to click on the reference that matches and then you have to click on the blue or red IC. Again, it would be helpful if it just automatically added the blue PY as a default.

Edit Numbers within the FSS
Problem: Users often need to edit numbers within the FS once issues or errors are detected, currently that requires them to import and export the document which is time consuming.
Proposed Solution: Have the option to update the values directly within the FSS and mabye have it suggested based on the value within the calculator.
