Credit Risk & Cash Flow Analysis: Inspiring Cases

Objectives

Banks play a crucial role in allocating financial resources. Many companies in a country are dependent on the loans and credit facilities that banks provide. Meeting the demand of these companies for financial resources in a sustainable way will support social and economic developments. The workshop is intended to help future and current loan providers, investors and credit analysts to do their job efficiently and thoroughly. After finishing the workshop, all participants should be able to:

  • Systematically determine the operating and financial strength of a specific borrower (a company). Linking operational and financial issues gives a strong analysis and protection against unreliable financials and weak business plans. Finally, the participants will be able to judge level & predictability of future cash flows and to assess a risk rating by hand.
  • Help the borrower to set reasonable goals in terms of financial condition and growth and using a strategy when a borrower is facing financial difficulties.
  • Give concise and clear conclusions and recommendations to credit committees/management.

Target Group

The workshop is created for professionals involved in extending and monitoring business loans and who are interested in tricks and tips to improve their efficiency. Both senior and junior staff will enjoy the real-life examples and the lively discussions. It is exciting and fun. Pre-requisite: Knowledge about the basics of accounting.

 

Location & Duration
