Plan the handover of credit concentration risk so that capability is not lost when key staff move on.
Managing Credit Concentration Risk in Large Banking Portfolios
Turn credit concentration risk from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over credit concentration risk. Models supporting this area of financial and banking practice fail quietly, and usually at the worst moment. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the financial and banking practice discipline is examined, not just described. It concentrates on the parts of credit concentration risk that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Plans for this aspect of financial and banking practice often fail at the handover point between functions. The professional literature on this strand of financial and banking practice converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about credit concentration risk under scrutiny. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the practice within financial and banking practice. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the wider financial and banking practice agenda that would make a visible difference.
