Processes we automate for credit managers.
Most engagements begin with one recurring process that takes too much of a team’s time. These are the ones we are asked about most often.
- Incoming-file monitoring
- We track each file a client expects from its custodians, agents and administrators against its usual arrival window, and record when it arrives and is processed. A late or missing file is identified the same morning. Custodian cash reporting
- Investment attribute changes
- We validate security attributes such as coupon, maturity and day-count convention against coded rules every day, and report each exception to the operations team with the detail needed to correct it. Investment data validation
- Unused commitment fee monitoring
- For a revolving credit facility whose unused fee rate depends on utilization, we calculate the drawn and undrawn amounts each day, determine which fee tier applies and notify the team whether any change is required.
- Borrowing-base preparation
- We prepare borrowing-base data from portfolio and facility records, so that the same reconciled figures support each borrowing base, month-end reporting, audits and drawdowns without being rebuilt by hand.
- Participation interest tracking
- Where one entity holds a participation in a loan held by another, we track the interest activity on each participation holding, in place of the side workbook usually kept outside the accounting system.
- Investor reporting data
- We assemble the portfolio data behind investor reports and marketing materials from one validated source, so that it does not have to be gathered and formatted again for each reporting period.
