Hmm, I don't know. I was leaning towards D, with the check-in and check-out software to control versions. That way, you can always go back and see who made what changes, right?

Ah, I see where you're coming from, but I disagree. I think C is the way to go - documenting the purpose and use of the spreadsheet. That way, everyone who uses it knows exactly what it's for and how to use it properly.

I'm not so sure about that. I think B might be the better answer - storing the spreadsheet on a backed-up network server. That ensures the data is secure and doesn't get lost, which is crucial for financial reporting.

Well, this is a tricky one. I think the right answer is A - formulas and static data being locked or protected. That's really the most important control to ensure accurate financial reporting in a spreadsheet, isn't it?
