Automation is revolutionizing the way auditors handle tick and tie processes. By eliminating time-consuming manual checks, automation allows teams to focus on high-value tasks while ensuring greater accuracy and consistency.

From speeding up reviews to reducing errors, here’s how automating tick and tie can transform your workflows and enhance your team’s performance.

10 Benefits of Automating Tick and Tie

1. More Accurate Calculations: Intelligent automation tools like DataSnipper’s Financial Statement Suite (FSS) can perform mathematical accuracy checks by rapidly analyzing documents, flagging any errors or inconsistencies, and proposing suggestions of valid totals for human review. This means teams can ditch their calculators and work smarter while reducing costly errors.
2. Greater Consistency: Tools like the FSS can automatically cross-reference amounts in the same document or across yearly statements to verify internal and prior-year consistency. Therefore, teams can waste less time digging around in spreadsheets and focus more energy on what matters. 
3. ‍Overall Efficiency Gains: Of the auditors and accountants currently using automation in their financial operations, 89% say it makes their firm more profitable and efficient. With DataSnipper’s FSS, for example, BDO Netherlands accelerated financial statement analysis by 3x.
4. Faster Document Matching: Automated tick and tie instantly matches entries across related documents, streamlining a traditionally time-intensive process. This frees teams to tackle higher-value work without losing time in the details.
5. Enhanced Risk Management: Automation analyzes patterns and flags inconsistencies in tick and tie, helping teams identify and address red flags early. This proactive approach to risk can protect funds from compliance issues and errors.
6. Reduced Human Error: Automation removes the element of fatigue-induced mistakes by applying consistent standards to every tick and tie, improving the quality and accuracy of reports.
7. Improved Team Collaboration: With automated tick and tie, centralized data is easier to access and review. This transparency reduces misunderstandings and allows teams to work together more seamlessly.
8. Increased Transparency: Automated tick and tie keeps a clear audit trail, showing every review, validation, or flagged item. This transparency is essential for accountability and easier audits.
9. Scalability for Busy Periods: During peak periods, like year-end reporting, automated tick and tie allows fund administrators to scale up quickly, processing high volumes efficiently without compromising accuracy.
10. Boosted Team Morale: By automating repetitive tasks, teams can focus on strategic analysis rather than manual verification. This boost in engagement and morale helps retain talent and keeps your team motivated.
