Verify that new draws or issuances are supported by executed credit agreements, term sheets, or board approvals.
Check that repayments tie to bank records and amortization schedules for each instrument.
Evaluate whether ending balances and net debt ratios remain within the limits set by each credit agreement.
Confirm that current vs. long-term classification reflects the contractual maturity dates for each instrument.
Validate that implied interest on the average debt balance during the period is consistent with the income statement.
