Loan Exception Tracking
Loan exceptions monitoring is the process of identifying and addressing potential issues or problems with loans before they become more serious. This typically involves regularly reviewing loans for any unusual or potentially problematic activity, such as a sudden increase in the borrower's debt levels or a significant decline in their credit score.
​
By identifying and addressing potential issues early on, lenders can help prevent loans from becoming delinquent or defaulting. This can help protect the lender's investment and reduce the risk of losses.
​
Loan exceptions monitoring typically involves several key steps. First, the lender will identify the loans that need to be monitored, such as those with higher-than-average risk or those that have shown signs of potential issues. Next, the lender will collect and review relevant information about the loans, such as the borrower's financial performance and credit history.
Based on this information, the lender will then identify any potential issues or problems with the loans. These might include a sudden increase in the borrower's debt levels, a significant decline in their credit score, or any other unusual or potentially problematic activity.
​
Once potential issues have been identified, the lender can take steps to address them. This might involve working with the borrower to develop a plan to improve their financial performance, or restructuring the loan to make it more manageable for the borrower. In some cases, the lender may decide to take more drastic action, such as requiring the borrower to provide additional collateral or even defaulting on the loan.
​
Overall, loan exceptions monitoring is an important part of managing a loan portfolio and helping to prevent potential issues from becoming more serious. By regularly monitoring loans and taking action to address potential problems, lenders can help protect their investments and reduce the risk of losses.

What are the commercial loan document exceptions?
Commercial loan document exceptions refer to potential issues or problems with the documents associated with a commercial loan. These might include missing or incomplete information, inconsistencies in the documents, or other unusual or potentially problematic activity.
​
By regularly reviewing commercial loan documents for exceptions, lenders can ensure that the necessary information is provided and that the documents are complete and accurate. This can help prevent potential issues with the loan, such as delays in the approval process or difficulties in disbursing the loan proceeds.
​
Some common examples of commercial loan document exceptions include missing or incomplete information, such as a borrower's tax returns or financial statements. In these cases, the lender may need to request additional information from the borrower in order to complete the loan application.
​
Other common examples of commercial loan document exceptions include inconsistencies in the documents, such as conflicting information about the borrower's income or assets. In these cases, the lender may need to review the information and resolve any inconsistencies before proceeding with the loan.
​
Overall, commercial loan document exceptions can be a potential source of risk for lenders. By regularly reviewing commercial loan documents for exceptions, lenders can identify and address potential issues before they become more serious, and help protect their investments and avoid potential losses.
Loan exception management is an important part of managing borrowers financial and reporting documents for loan monitoring. Almost 70% of banks still rely on some combination of spreadsheets, core ticklers, or other manual processes.
