The financial suite has to be my favorite as it enables us to compare financial statements versions in minutes

Installing plug ins can be a bit complicated for the less tech savvy user.

i uploaded confirmation letters from banks and it was so comfortable to compare the numbers with just one click.

The text snip is very comfortable to use and it makes the audit procedure to be faster

That you cannot roll with the mouse and see the all documents that were uploaded

Overall the software provided efficiencies in the audit and FS review processes. Though it does not fully provide what we need, the pros outweigh the cons, so we continue to use the software in out day to day audit and FS review processes.

Reduced the amount of time reviewing financial statements, reduced audit documentation time, and increased efficiency in reviewing audit documentation

There were multiple issues identified with the automated results of the financial statement suites, and reduced functionality of some features with the latest version issued made certain aspects of FS review more difficult than in previous versions.

Ease of useCompatibilityFast and efficient

Uses its own formatting, which is sometimes a little annoying in big files, should only just high light and rest of the formatting should be same like the cell. After deleting snips, also messes up formatting and not revert it to original self.

Ease of use and improve efficiency in audit considerimg we have always large data to audit.

None so far. I just need to attend more trainings to know more of its features. I heard, its interesting

Very intuitive to use. Great time saving tool, especially the financial statements suite. There are additional features like embedding documents into a file which works significantly better than the default Microsoft embedding and allows easier cross referencing / support for figures. Table snips are very useful to for extracting data from bank statements.

No cons or any suggestions for improvements.

Decrease in time required in vouching and financial statement review.

Financial statement suite (PY, footing, version control)

Slows excel, can't easily insert workpaper references during FS tie out.

The software is very easy to use and implement. The way that the software helps our audit teams speed up testing and vouching to external documents is amazing. We use the software in all aspects of the audit process and other areas of our practice. Glad we found this product!!!

We have not come across any cons to using the software yet.

Implementing the tool was quite easy. The whole DataSnipper-Team is very helpful and has quick response times

Easy to use; makes life easier for an auditor; allows perfect cross referencing; all documents are collected in one excel-sheet --> very easy to review to work papers

Slows down the response times of excel-workbooks due to the embedded documents

Data extraction, vouching and referencing.

It makes my system and excel hang and slow when I import like 2 folders into my workpaper.

Everything is tip top, import, reconcile

Nothing right now , but I will give you feedback if I remember something

I´ve ben using DataSnipper in Aura and it has completely transformed the way I work. No longe do I have to spend hours manually entering data from images or scanned documents - DataSnipper does it for me in just a few clicks. The interface is intuitive and easy to use, and the results are consistently accurate. I highly recommend DataSnipper to anyone looking to streamline their data extraction process

DataSnipper allows me to quickly and accurately extract data from photos or scanned documents, saving me time and increasing my productivity.

On a few occassions, data extracted from tables were not seperated as such. I had to spend time separating them.

The application has assisted in the turnaround for documents review such as review of financial statements, auditor opinions, letter of representation and engagement letters. The time spent has reduced significantly

The application reduces the work time increasing efficiency and quality work. The reports with snippets obtained through the application are precise and help in having client conversations on what changes to make. The FSS has additional features such as comparing changes in documents which further easens the process.

There is still a gap in the documents review such as update on new standards and intelligent check of accuracy of informations. In overall the performance of the application is quite commendable.

-Datasnipper saves so much time when casting accounts, and comparing to prior year figures as most of the work is done for you -Really good for importing figures from PDFs where it's not possible to copy and paste things accurately, such as lists or split columns

-Doesn't always pick up all of the information or may set it out weirdly (but this is easy to adjust)-Can take some time to get used to

Table Snips and Financial Statement Footing are super easy to use and save time instantly

Hard to gain the efficiencies with small sample sizes

Minimising of human errors by transferring data manually.

Ease of data extraction since I'm in tax and i deal with alot of data i.e GST it provides a way to extract data from pdf to excel with ease saving me valuable time

Not much to dislike about data snipper right now

It is easy to use and saves time

Financial statements suiteIt enables you to check constistency of both current year and prior year financial statements

Version comparisonBeing able to compare current and prior year numbers improves constistency

We are able to manage time and reprioritize Resorces to optimize client satisfaction.

Time efficiency. The ability to manage multiple documents under one document.

There is nothing I like least about DataSnipper.

It saves a lot of time and effort. It gives a clear overview.

Sometimes it doesn't work. It doesn't understand Arabic languages.

- Increased file management skills- Increased overall quickness of the audit testing process. - Great tool for managers to review documents without having back and forth communication with staff members. - Increases transparency

- The ease of flicking through documentation- No lag caused by the tool- very straightforward

- The autonomous data reader can sometimes stop working if to many documents have been uploaded. This causes the user to then manually type selected criteria from the document to excel.

Absolute fantastic tool

Ease of use and save a ton lot of time.

Need improvement in excel snipping.

I would 100% recommend Data snipper for use. The functionality does reduce significant time for the audit and also provides a valuable linkage to audit evidence from our audit. The casting function of the financial statements is awesome as it does not only casts but provides an idea of how the calculations were derived. Kudos to the team.

None identified at the moment. Would send through if anything comes up.

- Ease of use- Feature set- Design of the tool - by auditors for auditors

- a version switcher would be appreciated to allow users to work with multiple licences (and switch Azure clouds etc)

Our team has been using DataSnipper for several months now, and it has considerably improved our efficiency in audit work. The automation features have saved us a significant amount of time on repetitive tasks, allowing us to focus on higher-risk areas. The intelligent audit features have also helped improve the accuracy and quality of our work. However, there are some functional issues, such as the Validation Snip and Table Snip, that need improvement. Additionally, the pricing structure can be prohibitive for small and medium practitioners with low license volumes. Despite these issues, DataSnipper remains a valuable tool for auditors looking to streamline their workflow and improve efficiency.

DS has truly impacted the way we audit over the last year. We have been using the tool for a few months now, and we can confidently say that it has saved us a considerable amount of time on repetitive tasks. This has allowed us to shift our focus towards more high-risk areas and tasks that require the attention of senior resources. As a result, we have been able to improve the quality and accuracy of our work.One of the key benefits of DS is its automation features. The tool automates many of the manual tasks that we used to perform, such as vouching, verifying, copying and pasting data, and reconciling data. This has freed up a lot of our time and resources, which we can now allocate towards more valuable tasks that require our attention.Another benefit of DataSnipper is its seamless integration with Excel. Most of our audit work is done in Excel, so having a tool that integrates with it is incredibly convenient. This also makes it easy for us to get started with the tool without extensive training, as we are already familiar with the Excel interface.The user-friendly interface of DataSnipper is another advantage. The tool is intuitive and easy to use, even for those who are not Excel experts. Overall, DataSnipper is a tool that any auditor should consider. It streamlines our workflow and improves our efficiency, which allows us to provide better value to our clients.

While DS has been a useful tool for automating certain audit tasks, there are some areas for improvement that could impact its overall effectiveness. One issue is the high price, which may be prohibitive for small and medium practitioners with low license volumes. Additionally, the pricing structure can be discriminatory towards customers with lower volumes, which can be frustrating.There are also some functional issues that could potentially affect the reliability and accuracy of the tool. For example, the Validation Snip does not actually validate amounts and users may unintentionally mark something as validated when it is not. The Table Snip also has issues when editing rows, which can cause data to be merged incorrectly.Another area for improvement is the lack of formatting options and inability to change general settings of functions, such as font size and color. Additionally, it would be helpful to have the ability to insert audit ticks into imported documents.While the FIND ALL SUMs function is useful, it does not always accurately check the totals when there is a net total, and the SUM Snip may pick up some numbers with a minus sign when they should be positive. Overall, while DS can be a helpful tool for automating audit tasks, users should be aware of these potential issues and weigh them against their specific needs and preferences. DS's use may cause Excel to freeze and it's incompatible with older versions of Office, but doesn't detract from its overall value.

Datasnipper solves the time problem in audit by eliminating the need to capture support manually and also human error where mistakes are made when documents are captured. These documents are imported and the detail thereon is either extracted or snipped instead of being captured manually by retyping from physical documents. Which saves alot of time and also does not leave juniors stuck on tasks for hours and hours.

Datasnipper eliminates phantom ticking - one of audit engagements worst threat (the threat that an audit member will state that it is correct without checking the support or substance) Due to the ability of the software to import the support and then allow the manager to check it that what is tested is correct is fantastic. Also significantly reduces capturing errors made by junior staff when capturing a lot of support.

Some features are not available and require additional expansion or products to get the use of the functionality. The standard model is great but is not really competing with all the additional features that are available and you are limited to the subscriptions purchased by the organization as a user.
