Sheet Names

• Summary Dashboard: A high-level overview of cash positions and key risk indicators.
• Main Cash Flow Statement: The primary table detailing inflows, outflows, and net cash flow by period.
• Risk Exposure Log: Tracks identified financial risks with associated impact and mitigation strategies.
• Scenario Analysis: Allows users to model different economic scenarios (e.g., recession, inflation) on cash flows.
• Printable Report: A formatted version of the main statement tailored for printing with headers and footers.

Table Structures & Columns

The Main Cash Flow Statement is the core table, structured in a tabular format to clearly show cash movements over time. Each row represents a specific period (e.g., monthly or quarterly), and columns represent data types with defined formats.

All monetary values are stored as Number (Currency), with formatting set to two decimal places and USD symbol (e.g., $12,345.67). The 'Risk Rating' column is a categorical field using values: Low, Moderate, High, Critical.

Formulas Required

The template leverages dynamic Excel formulas to enhance usability:

• =SUMIFS(CashInFlow!C:C, CashInFlow!A:A, "Q1 2024"): Aggregates inflows by period.
• =IF(ISBLANK(B3), "", B3 - C3): Calculates net cash flow per row (inflow minus outflow).
• =IF(D3 > 0, "Positive", IF(D3 < 0, "Negative", "Neutral")): Determines the sign of net cash flow to flag liquidity status.
• =VLOOKUP(A2, RiskLog!A:B, 2, FALSE): Pulls risk rating from the Risk Exposure Log based on category.
• =SUM(D:D): Totals net cash flow across all periods in the main statement.

Conditional Formatting

To support Risk Management visibility, conditional formatting is applied to highlight potential financial vulnerabilities:

• Red background: Used when net cash flow is negative and risk rating is "High" or "Critical".
• Yellow background: Applied when net cash flow is below threshold (-5% of average monthly inflow).
• Green background: For positive net cash flows with low risk ratings.
• Text color in risk column: Red for "Critical", Orange for "High", Blue for "Low".
• Auto-highlight rows where outflows exceed inflows by more than 20%.
