About This Automation

Covenant tracking requires finance teams to manually extract financial data, calculate complex ratios, and compare results against loan thresholds each month. Manual calculation and comparison create delays, formula errors, and risk of missed breaches.

Automation pulls financial data directly from accounting systems, calculates all covenant metrics automatically, and flags breaches instantly. Compliance reports generate and distribute themselves, with full audit trails maintained.

Key features

Calculate all covenant ratios using standardized formulas without manual entry
Compare results against loan thresholds and flag breaches in real time
Generate formatted compliance reports and send to stakeholders automatically
Maintain complete audit trail of all calculations and notifications
Alert lenders immediately when covenant violations occur

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Month-End Close Detectedtrigger

Automation monitors the accounting system for month-end close completion and triggers the covenant review workflow.

2. Fetch Financial Data via API

Automation pulls the latest balance sheet and income statement directly or using API calls, extracting debt, equity, EBITDA, and interest expense.

3. Retrieve Loan Terms from Repository

Automation fetches covenant thresholds and calculation methods from a centralized covenant master file or document store.

4. Calculate Covenant Metrics

Automation computes debt-to-equity, interest coverage, current ratio, and other covenant metrics using the extracted financial data and stored calculation rules.

5. Evaluate Covenant Compliance

Automation compares calculated ratios against thresholds and flags any breaches, near-misses, or waivers required.

6. Generate Compliance Report

Automation creates a formatted compliance summary with covenant status, breach details, and recommended actions, storing it and preparing it for distribution.

7. Send Alert and Email

Automation sends an instant notification to the finance team with breach details and emails the full compliance report to stakeholders and lenders if required.
