ipacheck comes with a folder structure for your project including a master do-file, a globals do-file, prep do-file and Excel-based inputs sheets. Results of checks are exported as nicely formatted Excel spreadsheets for distribution among field teams. As of version 4.2.0, ipacheck now uses programs from the [ipahelper](https://github.com/PovertyAction/ipahelper/main).
