Credit Risk Management for Banking Professionals Training Course
Loan losses erode bank capital faster than almost any other risk, and weak credit decisions often show up only when it is too late to recover. Over five days you revisit the credit cycle from origination and appraisal to monitoring, restructuring and recovery, together with the expectations set by Basel principles and local prudential guidelines. Assessment sessions cover the five Cs of credit, financial statement and cash-flow analysis, collateral valuation, and scoring and rating models. You then explore portfolio concentration, early warning indicators, non-performing loan management, IFRS 9 expected credit loss and the PD, LGD and EAD parameters behind it.
Case studies on corporate, SME and retail lending let you grade borrowers, structure facilities, set covenants and decide when to escalate a deteriorating account. Later sessions consider stress testing, risk appetite statements, climate and digital lending risks and the growing role of analytics in credit decisions. Credit analysts, relationship managers, risk officers, recovery staff, internal auditors and branch managers in banks, microfinance institutions and SACCOs will find it directly applicable. You return able to write stronger credit papers and spot deterioration earlier.
