Debt Management

Today’s economic environment and new financial reporting requirements have created new challenges for companies in managing their debt

• Companies require detailed understanding and management of their debt to effectively manage their portfolio
• Managing debt through large, unwieldy spreadsheets is time wasted and exposes companies to unnecessary risks
• ASC 820/FAS 157 compliant fair market debt valuations are mandatory
• Accuracy in cash-flow forecasts and projections is required

FMS is a powerful and dynamic debt management system that provides a clear view of your debt profile from individual loan details and valuations to portfolio-level reporting and analytics

“FMS allows us to access debt and derivative documentation through one user-friendly interface. It has been a valuable asset in supporting our internal and external reporting processes.” — Paul D. Nungester, Jr. Vice President & Controller, Health Care REIT, Inc.
