Description
Course Overview
Building a credible credit risk management system requires the consistent and defensible
categorization of risks within a portfolio. Starting with compiling relevant data and formalizing
assessment methodologies, financial institutions and investment managers worldwide are
developing a variety of analytical approaches –both qualitative and, increasingly, quantitative—
to rationalize credit rating decisions, predict probabilities of default [PD], measure and control of
exposure to Loss-Given-Default [LGD], inform portfolio management decisions, and comply with
proposed regulatory regimes.
This three-day, instructor-led course will provide participants with an in-depth examination of
prevailing credit scoring methodologies, including employment of quantitative models,
benchmarking, mapping practices, transition matrices, and overall system validation procedures.
In addition, the course will offer attendees an in-depth view of the recent developments surrounding
effective LGD analysis, including the challenges attached to compiling useful data, loss
modeling, and the building of facility rating structures, as well as applications within capital
allocation systems.
