Sheet 3: Audit Checklist & Documentation
This worksheet helps ensure that all audit preparation steps are completed.

| Column E: Supporting Document Reference | Link to file or sheet location for evidence (e.g., "Sheet1!A10") |

All key calculations are automatically generated using Excel formulas:
- H2 (Total Payments):
=C2*(1+D2)^E2 (Compound interest formula for total repayment)
- I2 (Total Interest Paid):
=H2-C2
- J2 (Monthly Payment):
=IF(G2="Monthly", PMT(D2/12, E2*12, -C2), IF(G2="Quarterly", PMT(D2/4, E2*4, -C2), IF(G2="Annually", PMT(D2, E2, -C2), "Invalid Frequency")))
The Loan Summary Report uses:
- B1 (Total Loan Amount):
=SUM('Loan Calculator (Main)'!C:C)
- B2 (Average Interest Rate):
=AVERAGE('Loan Calculator (Main)'!D:D)
- B3 (Active Loans Count):
=COUNTIF('Loan Calculator (Main)'!K:K, "Active")
The template includes conditional formatting rules to enhance audit visibility:
- Red Highlight for Defaulted Loans: Apply rule to column K: If cell = "Defaulted", format with red fill and white text.
- Yellow Warning for In Arrears: If status is "In Arrears", apply yellow background.
- Green for Repaid Loans: Status = "Repaid" → green highlight.
- Pending Audit Tasks: In the Audit Checklist, if Status ≠ "Verified", highlight row in light gray.
