Course Objectives
Participants will be equipped to:
Use a structured approach, incorporating financial, qualitative and market indicators, to identify strong and weak performers
Recognise early warning signals of credit deterioration in full and limited disclosure situations
Understand impact of key economic, political, regulatory and supervisory issues
Use credit analytics to identify relative value and business development opportunities
Assess counterparty risk in order to set facilities and exposure limits.
Target Audience
Credit risk management, fixed income and banking professionals. This workshop is targeted at an intermediate level. The two day workshop Introduction to Bank Financial Statements is designed as a preparation for those with limited accounting and banking experience. The workshops Emerging Market Banks and Sovereigns and Intensive Bank Analysis: Community & Regional Banks cover a similar analytic approach but with a focus on specific types of institution. Other complementary workshops include Risk Management in Banks & the Capital Implications, Trading Risks in Financial Institutions and Early Warning Signals in Financial Institutions.
The majority of Fitch Training programmes are offered at an intermediate and advanced level. There are no specific prerequisite courses to attend our programmes, however some topic knowledge maybe required. Please refer to the target audience to see what level of prior knowledge is required for a specific course.
Case Studies
FitchTraining workshops are based around case studies and exercises designed to illustrate the analytic approach and / or specific learning points. Our case studies are chosen for relevance, topical interest and disclosure quality and are a combination of strong and weak performers. They vary according to the location of the workshop and are constantly updated, using public and market information. Case studies are subject to change without notice.
