Start with the facility requirements
Use the facility agreement and lender template to identify reporting dates, definitions, certificates and sign-off requirements.
Reconcile the core figures
Align rent, operating costs, interest, debt balances and cash to the management accounts and general ledger.
Support covenant calculations
Retain the calculation, source data and definition used for every covenant. Flag cure rights, exclusions and headroom rather than reporting a ratio without context.
Prepare the evidence trail
Include rent rolls, bank statements, loan statements, valuations where required, capex schedules and explanations for material variances.
