Purpose of Loan Dashboards Banks use Loan Dashboards to quickly detect anomalies or trends in their loan business. When used as part of good business practices in Loan- and Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) departments, a company can improve its loan strategies and related revenues, and it can reduce the chances that managers miss trends or correlations related to approvals and defaults.
Example of a Loan Dashboard Here is an example of a Loan Dashboard with analysis of approved and declined loans as well as trends in defaults.
Who Uses This Type of Dashboards? The typical users of this type of dashboards are: Executives, CFOs, loan managers. Other Reports Often Used in Conjunction with Loan Dashboards Progressive Loan- and Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) departments sometimes use several different Loan Dashboards, along with detailed loan approval reports, loans declined reports, loan defaults reports, loan revenue reports, corporate dashboards, consolidated and branch-level profit & loss reports, balance sheets, cash flow statements, detailed operational dashboards, and other management and control tools.
Where Does the Data for Analysis Originate From? The Actual (historical transactions) data typically comes from loan management software and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems like: Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) Finance, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (D365 BC), Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft Dynamics SL, Sage Intacct, Sage 100, Sage 300, Sage 500, Sage X3, SAP Business One, SAP ByDesign, Acumatica, Netsuite and others. In analyses where budgets or forecasts are used, the planning data most often originates from in-house Excel spreadsheet models or from professional corporate performance management (CPM/EPM) solutions.
