- Liability & Equity Management: Documentation of liabilities, equity components, and their process relationships.
- Data Validation & Audit Log: A system-generated record of changes, users, timestamps, and validation statuses.
- Dashboard & Reporting: Interactive visualizations with performance metrics and process efficiency indicators.
Table Structures and Columns (Detailed)

Formulas Required for Automation and Accuracy
- Total Assets Calculation: In the Balance Sheet, use:
=SUMIF(AccountID, "ASSET*", QuarterlyValue) - Total Liabilities:
=SUMIF(AccountID, "LIAB*", QuarterlyValue) - Equity Calculation: (Assets - Liabilities)
=BalanceSheet!F10-BalanceSheet!F15 - Status Color Logic: Use nested IFs to auto-generate status labels based on audit status and review dates.
- Process ID Generator: A VBA macro that creates unique PR-XXXX codes by incrementing a counter stored in the Data Validation sheet.
- Data Validation Formula: Use Data Validation with custom formula to ensure account IDs follow BS- or PR- format.
Conditional Formatting for Enhanced Visibility
- Audit Status: Color code based on status—green (Verified), yellow (Pending), red (Flagged).
- Last Reviewed Date: Highlight entries older than 90 days in red with data bars.
- Process Status: Apply color scales to emphasize Active vs. Inactive processes.
- Value Changes: Use conditional formatting to flag any change in Quarterly Value exceeding ±5% from previous period.
User Instructions
- Initialization: Run the "Generate Process IDs" macro on first use to initialize the system.
- Data Entry: Populate each sheet using dropdowns and validation rules to ensure consistency.
- Daily Use: Update Quarterly Values when financial reports are finalized.
- Audit Trail: The Data Validation & Audit Log sheet automatically records changes—ensure your system has macros enabled.
- Review Cycles: Schedule quarterly reviews for all processes. Use the Dashboard to identify overdue items.
