Columns and Data Types:

• Category: Text (e.g., Revenue, COGS, Operating Expenses)
• Description: Text (detailed breakdown of each line item)
• Amount (USD): Currency format ($0.00), numeric data type with decimal precision
• Tax Code: Text, standardized codes for IRS or local tax reporting
• Compliance Status: Text with icons: ✅ Verified, ⚠️ Pending Audit, ❌ Non-Compliant, 🔄 In Review
• Last Review Date: Date format (e.g., 15/Dec/2023), automatically populated via date picker or manual entry

Formulas Required:

=SUMIF(A:A,"Revenue",C:C)        // Total revenue calculation
=SUMIF(A:A,"COGS",C:C)           // Total COGS
=SUMIF(A:A,"Operating Expenses",C:C)  // Total operating expenses
=C3 - C6 - C11                    // Net Profit Before Tax (assuming row positions)
=COUNTIFS(E:E,"❌")               // Count of non-compliant entries

The Dashboard sheet includes advanced formulas such as:

=IF(COUNTIFS(E:E,"⚠️ Pending Audit")>0, "Review Required", 
     IF(COUNTIFS(E:E,"❌ Non-Compliant")>0, "High Risk", 
     IF(COUNTIFS(E:E,"✅ Verified")=COUNTA(E:E), "Compliant", "Pending Review")))

Conditional Formatting:

• Red Background + Bold Text: For any row where Compliance Status is “❌ Non-Compliant” (highlighting critical risks).
• Yellow Highlight: For rows with status “⚠️ Pending Audit” (attention needed).
• Green Fill: For rows with status “✅ Verified” (compliant and audited).
• Date Validation: Cells in Last Review Date turn red if older than 90 days.
