About the training
#credit risk #cash flow analysis #finance #workshop
2 - 5 DAY WORKSHOP: REAL-LIFE CASES, TIPS & TOOLS, LIVELY DISCUSSIONS, VERY PRACTICAL.
CONTEXT & OBJECTIVES
Banks play a crucial role in allocating financial resources. Many companies in a country are dependent on the loans and credit facilities that banks provide. Meeting the demand of these companies for financial resources in a sustainable way will support social and economic developments. The workshop is intended to help staff to do their job efficiently and thoroughly. After finishing the programme, all participants should be able to:
1) Systematically determine the operating and financial strength of a specific borrowing company. Linking operational and financial issues gives a strong analysis and protection against unreliable financials and weak business plans. Finally, the participants will be able to judge the level & predictability of future cash flows and to assess a risk rating by hand
2) Help the borrower to set reasonable goals in terms of financial condition and growth and proposing/discussing a strategy when a borrower is facing potential future financial difficulties
3) Give concise and clear conclusions and recommendations to credit committees/management
