NEXT AUDIT DUE (in Client Master List): =IF(AND([@[Last Audit Date]]<>"",[@[Primary Regulation(s)]]<>""), EDATE([@[Last Audit Date]],12), "Not Applicable")
STATUS CALCULATION (in Compliance Calendar): =IF(TODAY()>[@[Due Date]],"Overdue",IF(TODAY()>=EDATE([@[Due Date]],-7),"Due Soon","Pending"))
RISK SCORE (Dashboard): A weighted formula using Compliance Tier, Overdue Tasks Count, and Industry Risk Level (e.g., Health = High Risk Factor). Formula example: =[@[Compliance Tier]]*0.4 + COUNTIF(tblCalendar[Status],"Overdue")*2 + IF([@[Industry Sector]]="Healthcare",5,1)
Dynamic Client Count by Status: Use COUNTIFS across multiple sheets to summarize active vs. inactive clients.

Overdue Tasks: Red fill with white text, bold font for Due Date column when past due.
Due Soon (within 7 days): Yellow background, orange text to highlight urgency.
Risk Score High (>10): Red indicator in Dashboard; clients with high risk scores appear in red on the Master List.
Status Columns: Color-coded icons: Green (Completed), Yellow (In Progress), Red (Overdue), Blue (Pending).
