<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-highlight-background-color has-background"><strong>Must-Know Excel Formulas for Internal Auditors</strong></h2>



<p class="has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph"><br><br>â <strong>VLOOKUP / XLOOKUP</strong> – Find missing or incorrect data<br>ð <strong>Example</strong>: You’re auditing supplier invoices and need to check if every invoice in the accounts payable report exists in the purchase order report. Instead of manual checking, use XLOOKUP to instantly match invoices and flag missing ones.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><br><br>â <strong>IF &; IFERROR</strong> – Error-proof your audit checks<br>ð<strong> Example</strong>: While checking expense claims, you can use:<br>=IF(B2>10000, &#8220;High Risk&#8221;, &#8220;OK&#8221;)<br>to flag claims above a threshold for further review.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><br><br>â <strong>COUNTIF</strong> – Find duplicate or suspicious transactions<br>ð <strong>Example</strong>: Identify duplicate vendor payments by using:<br>=COUNTIF(A:A, A2)<br>If the count is more than 1, you have a duplicate!</p>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><br><br>â <strong>SUMIF / AVERAGEIF</strong> – Summarize risk areas<br>ð<strong> Example:</strong> Find the total value of high-risk transactions by summing only those that exceed a specific amount:<br>=SUMIF(B:B, &#8220;>10000&#8221;, C:C)<br></p>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><br>â <strong>TEXT, LEFT, MID, RIGHT –</strong> Extract hidden insights from data<br>ð <strong>Example:</strong> If invoice numbers start with a branch code, you can extract it using:<br>=LEFT(A2, 3)<br><br>â <strong>Identifying Missing or Delayed Payments using XLOOKUP</strong><br>Scenario: You&#8217;re auditing customer payments and need to check if all invoices have corresponding payments.<br>Formula:<br><br>=XLOOKUP(A2, Payments!B:B, Payments!C:C, &#8220;Missing Payment&#8221;)</p>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><br><br>â <strong>Detecting Duplicate Invoices using COUNTIF</strong><br>Scenario: You suspect duplicate invoices in the sales ledger, which could indicate fraudulent transactions.<br>Formula:<br><br>=COUNTIF(A:A, A2)</p>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><br><br>â <strong>Aging Analysis for Overdue Receivables using IF &; TODAY()</strong><br>Scenario: You need to identify overdue invoices and categorize them into aging buckets (0-30, 31-60, 61-90 days).<br>Formula:<br><br>=IF(TODAY()-B2<;=30, &#8220;0-30 Days&#8221;, IF(TODAY()-B2<;=60, &#8220;31-60 Days&#8221;, IF(TODAY()-B2<;=90, &#8220;61-90 Days&#8221;, &#8220;90+ Days&#8221;)))<br><br></p>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><br>â <strong>Customer Credit Utilization using SUMIF</strong><br>Scenario: You need to check if a customer has exceeded their credit limit.<br>Formula:<br><br>=SUMIF(A:A, &#8220;Customer_Name&#8221;, B:B)</p>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><br><br>â <strong>Trial Balance Verification using SUMIF</strong><br>Scenario: You need to check if all debits and credits match in the trial balance.<br>Formula:<br><br>=SUMIF(B:B, &#8220;Debit&#8221;, C:C)-SUMIF(B:B, &#8220;Credit&#8221;, C:C)<br></p>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><br>â <strong>Bank Reconciliation using Conditional Formatting</strong><br>Scenario: You want to highlight bank transactions that are missing in books.<br>Steps:<br><br>1. Use XLOOKUP to compare bank statements and books.<br><br>2. Apply Conditional Formatting to highlight missing records.<br><br>Formula:<br><br>=XLOOKUP(A2, Bank_Statement!A:A, Bank_Statement!B:B, &#8220;Not Found&#8221;)<br></p>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><br>â <strong> Variance Analysis using ABS &; IFERROR</strong><br>Scenario: You need to compare budgeted vs. actual expenses and highlight significant variances.<br>Formula:<br><br>=IFERROR((B2-C2)/B2, 0).<br></p>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph"><br>â <strong>Fixed Asset Depreciation Calculation using SLN</strong><br>Scenario: You need to calculate straight-line depreciation for fixed assets.<br>Formula:<br><br>=SLN(Cost, Salvage, Life)</p>
