Pre-punched copy paper is the greatest thing since the invention of hyperbole, it forces the company to maintain consistency. I buy it by the case.

HA…this is so true. At my last client the Sr. Manager noted that she wanted to keep me on her next project because I knew how to punch holes as straight as she liked. Nevermind I had no idea how to audit cash…

to #4:

To me there is nothing worse than staples in a workpaper file. It creates this “accordion” effect that is one of the most aggravating things I can think of — well aside from holes that aren’t perfectly aligned of course.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned the technique of double-punching! Punch once and then slide the workpaper slightly to the left and punch again – this makes the workpapers slide ever so nicely, and prevents untimely tears, when flipping through the binders.

Holy sh!t, how are you all not paperless yet? If a client sends or hands me hardcopy, it is all I can do to keep from smacking them. Give me xls, pdf, or txt and I am a happy auditor. Paper, and thus hole-punching, are no good.

You’re forgetting about the beauty of the electronic hole-puncher. Greatest invention ever, but I doubt there is a market for them outside of for Big 4 auditing firms. You also didn’t mention the importance of hole reinforcements–a workpaper without them is not complete.
