It provides a broad coverage embracing the major risks in spreadsheet use. It contains numerous learning points that address the common and significant weaknesses found in the work of experienced spreadsheet users.
Spreadsheet Safe is the minimum certification standard applicable for spreadsheet users who work with key or critical spreadsheets in any industry.
