Traditionally, managing the credit portfolio was risk management. But the marketplace is broader and more complex today, and best-practice institutions know they need to measure and manage risk across the entire enterprise. We recognize that managing Credit Risk is still essential to enterprise-wide risk management, so we offer products and services to institutions and individuals involved in retail, commercial, and corporate credit risk. RMA is the premier provider of commercial credit education and information.
