Training the Credit Analyst

Bank Image
This two-day program is designed to provide lenders and analyst the tools required to understand and use financial information provided by borrowers. The key to producing high quality analysis is being able to understand the actions or in actions of your borrower’s management team. We then must be able to ask the borrowers the “Right” questions. The goal is to measure risk, develop loan structure, and the capacity to repay the loan. The Loan Officer/Analyst must be able to communicate that information to Loan Committee and the customer. Ultimately, good Loan Officers are able to provide value-added information that allows their borrowers to make better business decisions.
