Wouldn’t work. Entire state budgets are accounted for by spreadsheets without formulas, emailed between people in an office with no revision control.
A few years ago when 50 million went missing, I wasn’t surprised. I’d seen the budgeting process, and it was worse than you could possibly imagine.
There was an attempt to go the software route, but a nepotism deal left the budgeting department with a worse system than manual spreadsheet entry.
- shreyshnaccount 4y agolowest bidder took the 50mil. on a serious note tho, this is craziness. technical education and knowing how to code should be mandatory for these kinds of jobs.
