Throughout 2020 and now into 2021, credit loss modeling has evolved from a stress-testing exercise into a strategic vehicle to help management teams understand potential losses under varying economic conditions and how that could impact strategy development.
Our clients have found that knowing whether projected credit losses are manageable in stable and extreme economic circumstances can provide the peace of mind needed when contemplating potential strategies. The recent pandemic has shifted a lot of focus to credit loss modeling in which our clients discovered benefits outside of the obvious (loss projections) that have permeated through their institution. Join us for this webinar as we uncover the strategic value from credit loss modeling which includes:
Minimize the fear of the unknown
Create reserve support and benchmarking
Assist with budgeting and/or capital planning
Provide strategic decision-making support
Educate board & executives
Prepare for regulators/exams
