The constitutional purpose of EuSpRIG is to promote a free exchange of information on the risks inherent in the use of electronic spreadsheet programs, methods for the development and testing of business models and applications created using such programs, and tools and techniques for the audit of such business models and applications.

More specifically, the objectives of the group are to provide a forum where research into business and audit risks from the use of spreadsheets and ways in which those risks can be avoided and countered, could be collated and presented in a form suitable for auditors and business managers.

EuSpRIG is a voluntary organisation managed by an elected committee with a written constitution. EuSpRIG has since July 2000 presented an annual international conference. EuSpRIG publishes selected papers from its annual proceedings immediately after the conference on www.arxiv.org, where they can be downloaded free of charge.
