Purpose and Overview

This comprehensive Excel template combines the functionality of a loan calculator with a robust compliance tracking system, designed specifically for weekly monitoring. It is ideal for financial institutions, credit unions, or lending departments that must ensure regulatory adherence while managing loan portfolios on an ongoing basis.

The template enables users to calculate monthly payments, interest accruals, and amortization schedules while simultaneously tracking compliance with internal policies and external regulations—such as the Dodd-Frank Act, Fair Lending Laws, or state-specific lending rules. With a weekly refresh cycle built into the structure, this template provides real-time visibility into loan performance and regulatory adherence.

By integrating financial modeling with compliance auditing in a single workbook, users can identify potential risks early, document corrective actions efficiently, and generate audit-ready reports with minimal effort. This hybrid approach ensures that financial operations remain both profitable and compliant across weekly reporting periods.

Sheet Structure

The workbook consists of five essential sheets, each serving a distinct function:

• Loan Calculator (Main): Central sheet for loan calculation and weekly data input.
• Compliance Log: Tracks compliance status for each loan on a weekly basis.
• Weekly Summary Dashboard: Visual representation of key KPIs, risk indicators, and compliance rates.
• Loan Details & History: Full historical data of all loans, including origination dates, terms, and amendments.
• Instructions & Audit Trail: Step-by-step guidance and a log of user actions for audit purposes.

• Compliance Score: `=COUNTIF(C2:E2,"Yes") / 3` (adjusted for actual number of checks)
• Automated Week-Ending Date: `=EOMONTH(A2,0) + 1 - WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(A2,0)+1)` → then +7*(Week Number)

Conditional Formatting
