TeamMate Analytics ToolbarThis includes a variety of tools designed to make your life easier whenever you’re working in Excel. The toolbar includes tools for cleansing and manipulating data to get it ready for data analysis including fixing numeric, date and text fields. There are tools for presenting your work easily and effectively including applying formatting and inserting headers and a sheet index. Other time saving tools include Global Find and Replace and Extract Visible Cells.

Pre-Defined Section ModulesTeamMate Analytics includes 8 unique Section Modules, which are each focused on different areas that internal auditors are requested to test but often lack the expertise such as payables, receivables, inventory, non-current assets, journals and expenses. Each Section Module includes up to 26 different tests that can be run on a single report, all in one go, performing a huge amount of data analysis and focusing the user on just the transactions that may be of interest.

Custom Section ModulesScripting without learning a different language. In most data analytic tools if you want to create and provide users tests, it takes a data analytics expert to create and distribute scripts using an application specific scripting language. TeamMate Analytics allows you to accomplish the same goal of providing predefined analytic tests to your users, without learning an application specific scripting language or code.

Sampling In many cases, TeamMate Analytics allows you to test 100% of a population, and therefore eliminate sampling and sampling risk altogether. However, when sampling is unavoidable, you can use TeamMate Analytics to select robust samples using Monetary Unit Sampling (MUS), Random Sampling, Stratified Sampling, Cluster Sampling or Systematic Sampling. You can also use the MUS tool to statistically extrapolate errors in the sample over the entire population.

Data Analytics ToolsTeamMate Analytics includes a whole host of standalone data analytics tools. All the ones you might expect from a fully-featured data analytics tool, including Join 2 Sheets, Append Sheets, Ledger Split, Exception Report, Column Statistics, Gaps, Benford’s Testing, Advanced Summary and Aging. There are also other tools included that are not available in other data analytics tools, or would require you to write custom scripts, such as Out of Mask, Highlight Changes, Sequential Invoices, Specific Comments, Analytical Review, Number Checker, Lead Scheduler, Outliers, Top and Bottom. There’s a tool included in TeamMate Analytics for virtually every data analytics task that you would wish to perform.

Quick VisualizerThis time-saving tool allows easy and flexible automated visualization of data, column by column and creates simple, visually appealing charts that can be customized in Excel.
