Using the nXt Workbook Information Tool
We understand how hard modelling can be. Our team see a lot of models, and we know that it’s essential to get the measure of them quickly.
Is this model all your own work
I was recently looking at a set of templates issued by a public sector procurement authority and I was struck by the number of tell-tale signs that this was not all the original work of the ‘author’.
IFRS 16 Readiness & the Minefield of Adoption

This has never really been a good way of identifying a specific version of a specific file and recently we’ve been using file hashes to identify files instead.
