What is Credit Risk Management?
The credit risk management definition has widened given the growing number of risks that banks must manage and the importance of risk management policy has increased. However, mitigating losses associated with the non-payment of loans made to businesses and people is a primary
responsibility. Credit risk management can be summed up as how a bank measures, manages, and monitors its exposures to achieve a desired return on its capital. Credit risk managers are tasked with making decisions that impact the composition and performance of the loans..
In the past, managing the credit portfolio was considered good credit risk management. But in today's broader, more complex environment,
best-practice institutions understand the importance of measuring and managing risk across the entire enterprise. RMA recognizes that managing credit risk is essential to
enterprise-wide risk management, so we provide credit risk analysis training and credit risk management training for risk professionals at every stage of their career with a wide offering of credit risk courses. RMA is the premier provider of commercial credit risk management education and information.
