Techniques for Auditing, Troubleshooting, and Ensuring Accuracy with David Ringstrom, CPA.
Learn from Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, as he shares valuable techniques for verifying the integrity of even the most complex Excel spreadsheets. In this comprehensive course, David demonstrates how to use Excel’s formula auditing and error-checking tools, identify duplicates in a list, monitor the impact of even minor workbook changes, use the Evaluate Formula feature, and much more.
Each technique is demonstrated at least twice: first on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and then live in the Office 365 version of Excel. David highlights any differences found in older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation and in his detailed handouts. The course also includes an Excel workbook containing most of the examples featured in the webcast.
Note: Office 365 is a subscription-based product that receives new feature updates as often as monthly. In contrast, perpetual license versions of Excel—such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and earlier—do not receive feature updates.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
