Why should you attend?

Bank regulators expect financial organizations to build, implement, and maintain strong credit cultures. The key element in a strong credit culture is strong credit risk management, and this course offers some credit risk discipline tools to test and check the strength of the organization’s credit risk management.

Both bank regulators and the market expects and demands excellence in credit risk management, and that begins with identifying your current credit, selecting the culture that supports your organization’s risk appetite and risk tolerance, and then moving your current culture to the desired culture. The move requires you to identify, evaluate, and manage your organization’s transaction, intrinsic, and concentration risk. Several credit risk discipline tools offer an expedient way to test the quality of credit risk management but also serve as techniques for remediating and improving credit culture and credit risk management
