Ensure accuracy in your financial statements with our MA Suggestions Editor. When the Financial Statement Suite doesn’t capture all totals or correctly identify every part of a sum, you can step in. Simply create your own MA suggestions and define their context items. Plus, once you start working on a new version of the financial statement, the created tickmark will also transfer to the next version.

💡 Please note that the ability to create Mathematical Accuracy suggestions is only supported by DataSnipper version 6.1 and later
