Balance Sheet
Provide a date‑specific balance sheet listing current and noncurrent assets and liabilities, showing book and, where material, fair value adjustments plus any third‑party valuations to substantiate headline figures.
A Financial Solvency Test provides objective evidence of liquidity and net worth that informs creditor decisions, board approvals, and regulatory reviews. Properly prepared tests reduce litigation risk, demonstrate compliance with insolvency statutes, and document the facts and assumptions behind discretionary payments or transfers.
Typical users and stakeholders who rely on a Financial Solvency Test include corporate officers, lenders, trustees, and insolvency counsel.
Results inform restructuring, litigation strategy, and regulatory reporting; accuracy affects legal exposure and enforcement outcomes.
Provide a date‑specific balance sheet listing current and noncurrent assets and liabilities, showing book and, where material, fair value adjustments plus any third‑party valuations to substantiate headline figures.
Include historical cash flows and forward projections (monthly or quarterly) showing receipts, disbursements, and timing. Explicitly model covenant payments and committed credit draws to demonstrate near‑term liquidity.
Disclose guarantees, pending litigation, lease obligations, and tax contingencies with probability estimates and quantification of potential cash impact under conservative scenarios.
Set out valuation methods, discount or capitalization rates, stress‑test parameters, and sources for key inputs. Documenting assumptions makes the test reproducible and legally defensible.
Attach debt amortization, accounts receivable aging, inventory breakdown, bank reconciliations, and reconciliations to audited statements so reviewers can trace summary balances to source documents.
Include a declaratory signature block by an officer or qualified preparer stating the accuracy of the test, the preparer’s credentials, and whether the report is unaudited or audited.
