Philadelphia, PA (November 1, 2018) —
The Risk
Management Association’s (RMA) Statement Studies Submission Campaign, which
began in April 2018 and closed in August 2018, is set to release its new data
today. The data, derived from the financial statements of small and medium-size
financial institutions’ commercial loan customers, provides the only source of
composite metrics on all lines of business and is available for performing
business valuations on prospective businesses and industries.
The 2018-2019
Annual Statement Studies features 796 industries, compiled from more than
260,000 financial statements voluntarily submitted by 199 RMA institutional members.
RMA’s
flagship benchmarking data reports will help businesses make more informed
decisions in less time; shows clients that you understand their business better
than your competitors; evaluates your clients’ strengths and weaknesses more
accurately; and performs immediate benchmarking with the simple-to-use format. It
has been a staple in credit decision making for nearly 99 years.
Participants
in the program receive a complimentary copy of the Annual Statement Studies
books, or eStatement Studies access, and join their peers in creating a resource
that is heavily relied upon in the financial lending industry and business
valuation.

RMA member institution and interested in becoming a contributor, additional
