Course Overview

Models supporting credit risk and non-performing debt fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of non-performing debt. Participants test their assumptions about the wider financial and banking practice agenda against scenarios designed to break weak ones. They acquire practical criteria for judging when credit risk and non-performing debt is working and when it is only appearing to. Where this strand of financial and banking practice is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The programme takes participants through non-performing debt end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Moving credit risk and non-performing debt from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The content is relevant to those who own non-performing debt and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the wider financial and banking practice agenda rather than a set of notes.
