All 4 Documented Cases
Inventory Theft and Out-of-Trust Situations in Floorplan Reconciliation
$Unknown - high potential for lost inventory valueDealers sell floored inventory without repaying the lender (out-of-trust), leading to missing units during inspections and potential theft or unauthorized usage. Repeated discrepancies in reconciliations between inventory lists, general ledger, and lender records enable fraud. This results in systemic losses from unrecovered advances on missing collateral.[1][2]
Loss of Floorplan Funding and Bankruptcy from Reconciliation Violations
$Dealership bankruptcy level lossesRepeat violations in floorplan reconciliations, such as unreported sold units or inventory mismatches, lead to funding withdrawal by lenders. Dealerships have gone bankrupt due to these systemic failures in verifying inventory against financing. Regulatory inspections highlight risks like equity deficits signaling defaults.[1][2]
Excessive Floorplan Interest from Delayed Reconciliations
$Unknown - tied to largest cost center with rising ratesDealerships incur high interest costs on floorplan financing due to unreconciled inventory, as quick payoffs are not made promptly. Infrequent reconciliations, such as only at year-end, fail to identify general ledger misstatements, prolonging interest accrual especially with rising rates. This leads to ongoing financial strain from the largest funding source.[1]
Idle Funding Capacity from Unreconciled Floorplan Deficits
$Reduced working capital from equity deficitsReconciliation failures reveal equity deficits in inventory, indicating working capital shortages and inability to utilize full floorplan lines. This ties up capacity as lenders restrict advances until discrepancies are resolved. Well-managed dealers maintain equity as working capital, but poor reconciliation causes ongoing bottlenecks.[2]
