If you are working in Excel then it stands to reason you are working
with numbers: Accounting related information.

If those numbers are not constrained so that each every alteration is
auditable and numbers are then used for financial decisions or financial
statements you are in potential violation.

You as a developer are not in violation. But the result of your work
likely will be.
