- Cash Flow Balance (Column F):
=SUMIFS(E:E, D:D, "Inflow") - SUMIFS(E:E, D:D, "Outflow") - Compliance Flag (Column G):
=IF(AND(C2<>"", REGEXMATCH(C2,"payment|transfer"), E2 > VLOOKUP(F2, RegRef!A:D, 3, FALSE)), "Yes", "No") - Compliance Risk Level (Column E):
=IF(E2 > 10000, "Critical", IF(E2 > 5000, "High", IF(E2 > 100, "Medium", "Low"))) - Summary KPIs (Sheet 4):
- Total Inflows:
=SUMIF(CashFlowTracker!D:D,"Inflow",CashFlowTracker!E:E) - Total Outflows:
=SUMIF(CashFlowTracker!D:D,"Outflow",CashFlowTracker!E:E) - Compliance Violations:
=COUNTIF(CashFlowTracker!G:G,"Yes")
- Total Inflows:
Conditional Formatting
Visual cues enhance data interpretation and compliance monitoring:
- High-Risk Transactions: Red fill with white text for “Critical” risk level.
- Pending Review Flag: Yellow background if status review date is more than 7 days ago.
