Financial Products & Associated Risk Management

Credit Risk - Part 1

Overview

This eCourse consists of two modules on Credit Risk. Module 1 outlines how credit risk is generated by the business of financial institutions, as well as the structures these institutions should have in place to manage this risk. It describes in detail the entire credit risk lifecycle, from risk assessment through to ongoing risk reporting and monitoring. The module also explains why it is important for banks to look beyond credit risk and take into account other risks such as market and operational risk when making credit decisions.

Module 2 describes these different risk types and the characteristics that determine whether a particular credit risk falls into one risk type or another. It goes beyond the credit risks that arise in the traditional banking book to examine those that arise in the trading book and the regulatory and risk management implications of this distinction. The module also describes in detail how banks segment different customer types and why this differentiation matters from a credit risk point of view.
