The Hidden Risks of Spreadsheet Compliance
1,948 sponsor licences were revoked last year. Many of those businesses relied on spreadsheets.
Human Error
Manual data entry leads to mistakes. One wrong date could mean a missed RTW check and £20,000 fine.
No Automated Alerts
Spreadsheets don't remind you when documents expire. You have to manually check every row, every day.
No Audit Trail
Who changed what, when? Spreadsheets can't prove your compliance history to Home Office auditors.
