Problem Loans present many unique challenges for a financial institution. This course examines what constitutes a problem loan specifically and problem files more generally. We’ll look at the commercial borrowing relationship holistically to help identify the different ways that a client’s standing might deteriorate. Next, we’ll review different loan classifications before using an example pricing model in Excel to demonstrate how deteriorating risk on a file can affect a lender’s profitability.
Next, we look at how an individual loan officer or credit analyst can differentiate between problem loan symptoms and their underlying causes to help identify early warning signs much more effectively and to get ahead of problem files before they become a serious financial burden for the firm. Finally, we explore some of the options a lender has when trying to work through a problem file, including an in-depth look at an example Watch Report.
