Course Introduction
In today’s complex financial environment, accurately assessing credit risk is critical for safeguarding assets, improving lending decisions, and maintaining financial stability. This course provides participants with the skills to develop, implement, and interpret credit risk models that support informed business and investment decisions.
Participants will gain hands-on experience in credit scoring, probability of default, loss given default, and exposure at default modelling, as well as techniques for portfolio credit risk assessment and stress testing. This training combines quantitative analysis with practical applications, ensuring participants can effectively manage credit risk in real-world scenarios.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the fundamentals of credit risk and its impact on financial institutions.
- Develop statistical and mathematical models for credit risk assessment.
- Calculate key credit risk metrics: Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD), and Exposure at Default (EAD).
- Apply credit scoring and rating models for individual and portfolio assessment.
- Conduct stress testing and scenario analysis to evaluate portfolio vulnerability.
- Integrate credit risk modelling into lending, investment, and risk management processes.
- Use regulatory frameworks (e.g., Basel II/III) to inform credit risk management.
