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.

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.

Error limits
Where FSS identifies an error (could be due to OCR issues or changes in presentation so there is now minor rounding differences or with / without brackets) - can FSS allow a toggle to showcase these 'close' errors for quick investigation (similar to rounding in MA).

Check PY closing to CY opening
For tables in notes such as fixed assets, it would be useful to check the PY closings to the current year openings. In the examples of fixed assets, this would include cost, accumulated depreciation and NBV.

Recognize spacing between numbers and parentheses on financial statements within FSS
All of the financial statements we review have large amounts of space between the number and the parentheses. FSS does not read these numbers as negative. It would be helpful to improve the accuracy of FSS to recognize these numbers as negative.

Automatic "PY" in Internal consistency and prior year
We have just upgraded to the latest FSS version 6.0.11 and are experiencing that the functionality when manually checking off previous year (PY) and internal consistency (IC) has deteriorated. Now, when we first click on the amount, we have to choose whether it matches or not, and then select the amount in the financial statements. It was much better before when PY/IC was pre-filled as if it matched, and you manually had to choose if it didn't match. The new way takes much longer for us.
Similarly, in Internal Consistency, when we select an amount that matches, it does not…

FSS Calculator for documentation
Within the calculator in V6 FSS, I want to be able to use the calculator to sum up numbers and then apply a tickmark based on that summation, so that when I hand off to my reviewer, the workbook has tickmarks that are indicative of the due diligence performed by me, the preparer.
For example, in tables with amounts in columns A - E, where E contains the total, FSS may incorrectly identify a column C as a summation of A+B, and suggest incorrect TMs all the way down that column. I would want (1) to remove the suggestions from…

Edit documents in Version Compare
In Version Compare, it would be cool if there was an ability to edit the file after you have selected the two documents to compare. For example, if I upload “WORD document A” and “WORD document B”, the goal is to update document A to match document B. it would be nice if I could edit doc A while comparing to doc B as I scroll down both files within the DS's Version Compare window, so I don’t have to open document A separately and make changes in the word document.

Changes in formats (tables etc)
It would be great if the FSS Module adapted to changes in format between PY and CY financial statements (such as tables and column headings).

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.

Include face-to-face referencing
Include face-to-face referencing was done (e.g. BS to SCE equity items).
If the BS agrees to the notes, the BS should note the note number while the note should include a reference to the BS.
If the IS agrees to the notes, the IS should note the note number while the note should include a reference to the IS.That way, when reviewing the notes, you can easily see that the number agrees internally to the BS, IS, SOCIE etc. as applicable and can easily identify if it has a missing link that you would have expected.

Including testing within text
Currently numbers within text are not tested (for all 3 procedures).
In addition, consistency of disclosure year on year is not tested.3 votes -
Findings page
Once the file is extracted from DS, findings will be presented on the first page. If the list of error findings extends to next page, then the page number reference is inconsistent with the pdf page number.

disclosure checklist
We need a way of referencing between a disclosure checklist and the relevant disclosure. Currently, we are relying on staff and manager review to catch whether a disclosure is made or needs to be made and it is relatively common for there to be mistakes.

Consistency of checks, regardless of size of the financial statements
It would be great if the FSS Module completed the reviews consistently, regardless of size of financial statements (tends to miss more items the larger the documents being reviewed).

Set tick and tie rotation
When a mark is rotated form ^ to < for example, it would be ideal if it remained rotated until turned back. There are often batches of doing <<<<<<< required before reverting back to ^^^^^.
