Credit Assessment Templates

Overview
Standard & Poor’s Credit Assessment Templates provide banks, insurers, corporations and asset managers with a formalized expert-based judgment system for the assessment of obligor and facility risks for specific industry segments, based on Standard & Poor’s credit ratings methodology, internal methodology, or a combination of both. Expert Judgment Templates include qualitative and quantitative factors and associated weightings which produce a numerical score. This score can be mapped to Standard & Poor’s rating scale, an internal rating scale, or a probability of default (PD).

Credit Assessment Templates are an optimal solution where there is insufficient data to build a quantitative model, and when there is a need to evaluate low-default sectors or specialized asset classes. The assessment can be tailored to varying degrees of detail based on specific sector or client needs.

The benefits to your organization:
Adds structure to existing expert-based judgment systems;
Enhances your internal ratings systems by offering transparency and replicability; and
Establishes a common basis for review and acceptance by regulators, business units, and credit risk management departments.
