A strong credit culture is the base of sound lending. This 60-minute credit risk management training shows you how to build, implement and maintain one using 14 credit discipline tools.
The tools work two ways: as a quick test of how strong your organization's credit risk management really is, and as techniques for fixing weaknesses and improving both credit culture and risk management. You'll look at the four types of credit culture, what regulators expect, and each tool from written credit policy and risk-driven analysis to a granular risk rating system, independent loan review and an adequate loan loss reserve.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Bank regulators and the market both expect excellence in credit risk management. These 14 tools give you a fast way to check the quality of your credit process and a practical path to remediate gaps in credit culture and risk management.
The session suits senior lenders, chief credit officers, CEOs, bank presidents and directors, credit risk managers and credit approval officers.
