With the dramatic rise in unemployment, community banks must assess credit risks carefully to make informed underwriting decisions to avoid financial losses. Furthermore, if your examiner detects compliance weaknesses or failures, it has a broad range of corrective tools – from informal comments to formal enforcement action – so your institution has strong incentives to stay in compliance.

Credit Managers’ Risk Mitigation was designed to help you protect your bank from the adverse impact of downward economic cycles while helping to preserve profits earned during upward cycles.

The manual includes the following key sections:

• Managing Credit Risk
• Credit Risk Management Techniques
• Managing Consumer Credits
• Managing Commercial Credits

From credit planning to appraisals to documentation, this manual guides you through the credit process with clear guidelines you can use for your operation. The principles, practices, and techniques discussed in this manual are based on tried and true methods institutions have used in modern times to protect against losses while meeting regulatory and accounting requirements.

BONUS CD TOOL-KIT

Upon your payment for Credit Managers’ Risk Mitigation, you will receive the companion CD, which contains the entire contents of the book, in a searchable, portable PDF format, as well as supplemen­tal regulatory issuances, checklists, and worksheets.
