AuditTicks Pro adds a custom Excel ribbon for tickmarks, annotations, references, templates, review tools, and formatting utilities.

Purpose
AuditTicks Pro is designed to make audit workpapers faster, cleaner, and more consistent by standardizing common documentation actions from a dedicated Excel ribbon.

Problem
Audit documentation often becomes inconsistent when tickmarks, legends, references, formatting, annotations, and review notes are recreated manually across workpapers.

Approach
Built a ribbon-based Excel add-in using VBA and custom Ribbon XML. The add-in provides one-click access to standardized audit tools and documentation helpers.

Audit value
AuditTicks Pro helps reduce manual formatting, improve workpaper consistency, accelerate documentation, and make reviewer navigation clearer.

Status
In active development. The add-in is not publicly available yet, but this page will be used to share updates, screenshots, documentation, and future availability information.
