Closing & Booking Readiness Checklist

Closing & Booking Readiness Checklist

Review the handoff from approved credit decision to signed documents, funded loan and accurately booked account. Cicrim uses a control-oriented checklist to expose gaps between lending, operations and technology.

Confirm the approved transaction

Compare the final terms, borrower identity, product, collateral and conditions with the approved decision. Identify changes requiring reapproval and define how outstanding conditions are tracked. Verify that document generation uses the current product and jurisdiction configuration approved by the institution.

Check signing and funding controls

Define signer authority, document completeness, signature evidence and exception handling. Separate the ability to change disbursement instructions from the ability to approve funding. Validate the bank's verification and reconciliation steps with operations before automating the handoff.

Reconcile the booked loan

Compare booked balances, schedules, fees and servicing attributes with the executed agreement. Test failed interfaces and duplicate submissions. Cicrim can turn this checklist into a role-based acceptance plan with evidence requirements, exception owners and a controlled go-live decision.

Plan the next working session

Bring the current process, the accountable business and control owners, and the questions your team needs to resolve. Cicrim can help define a focused scope, expected working outputs and acceptance criteria before delivery begins.
