Evaluating the Effectiveness of Internal Risk Rating Systems Webinar
On Thursday, April 17, 2008, Troy Williams, a director of Standard & Poor’s Risk Solutions group, conducted a webinar on learning how financial institutions around the world use Standard & Poor’s Rating Scale Services(SM) to:
Map their internal ratings outcomes to Standard & Poor’s well-known rating scale;
Refine their risk rating scale to better reflect the range of default risk and loss given default in their credit portfolio; and
Establish a dual rating system that separately evaluates obligor ratings and facility ratings.
The discussion covered processes for determining the strengths and weaknesses of internal risk ratings, and determining the level of granularity needed for an effective risk rating system. A Commercial Banking Mapping case study was also presented.
