Virtual Seminar on Credit Risk Management - Principles and Practices, Tools and Techniques

Credit Risk Management is the function that ensures the organization is balancing its risk appetite with its risk tolerance to attain the organization's desired credit risk objectives.

This course provides guidance in how to implement and maintain the desired level of  credit risk management with practical tools and techniques.

Both the market and the regulatory agencies expect credit risk management to reflect the bank's credit culture, so the class also offers direction on how to identify the organization’s credit culture and to reposition it to support the desired credit risk culture and management

Why you should attend

A strong credit culture:

• Focuses the organization-everyone on the same page
• Reduces organizational conflict and confusion-priorities
• Minimizes the need for rigid controls
• Supports commitment to the organizational vision and mission
• Adds to the organization's bottom line and enhances shareholder value

In order to achieve the advantages of strong credit culture, there must be strong credit management. Achieving both means:

• Employing a set of diagnostic credit discipline tools to identify your existing culture and deciding on whether to maintain it or move on to a stronger culture
• Implementing the policies, processes, and procedures to implement your desired culture
