This course provides guidance on how to implement and maintain the desired level of credit risk management with practical tools and techniques. Both the market and the regulatory agencies expect credit risk management to reflect the bank’s credit culture, so the class also offers direction on how to identify the organization’s credit culture and reposition it to support the desired credit risk culture and management.
