About This Automation
Annual debt review requires manually gathering loan statements from multiple lenders, transcribing data into spreadsheets, and recalculating balances and interest. This manual process is error-prone, time-consuming, and delays board reporting by weeks.
Automation extracts loan data directly from statements and accounting records, reconciles balances automatically, and generates a complete debt management plan with repayment schedules and covenant compliance status. The plan is ready for stakeholder review within days instead of weeks.
Key features:
Extract loan data automatically from statements and lender portals without manual transcription
Reconcile loan balances against accounting records to flag discrepancies in real time
Recalculate interest accrual, remaining terms, and total payable amounts with no manual computation
Generate formatted debt management plans with summary tables and repayment schedules
Track interest rate changes and covenant compliance status across all facilities
Distribute final plans to stakeholders with audit trail and version control
