If you have any doubts about the spreadsheet suiting its purpose and its audience, this is the opportunity to air these doubts.

Also, if you have any questions at all about this activity’s requirements, this email is the opportunity to ask them of your assessor.

   5. Meet with your assessor. Your assessor will answer the email with the date and time of a meeting to discuss the spreadsheets that you have developed.

The meeting will be held at your workstation. You will show your assessor the first drafts of the spreadsheets you have developed.

While at the workstation, you should keep in mind the ergonomic principles that you were asked about in Assessment Task 1. Take rest breaks away from the computer according to best practice guidelines.

At the meeting, you will also be asked to demonstrate the following:

1. That the formulas you have entered into your spreadsheet are correct by calculating the totals for a data sample on a calculator. For example, calculate a period’s total income or expenditure, as well as checking the variation to budget totals.

1. 1. When your meeting has been concluded, finalise the draft of your document, ensuring that it contains any changes that your assessor may have suggested. Proofread the documents that you have saved. You should find at least one change (perhaps wider columns or position more centred on the page or any formatting requirement) that you wish to make to each worksheet.

   2. Set print area for all worksheets for all worksheets to ensure they fit in one A4 page.

   3. Produce a final draft of the spreadsheet that incorporates the changes that your assessor suggested and those you selected in the previous activity. Save this version of the file as filename_final and take a screen shot of the final folder and files.

   4. Email the final version of the spreadsheet with relevant charts and the folder screenshot to your assessor as an attachment within the designated timeline. Ensure your email meets the requirements of the style guide.

   5. Submit the following on Moodle:
