Lending to Personal Customers – Consumer Lending – demands a high-level of skill in the assessment of individual lending proposals.

In many cases it has none of the sources of financial information traditionally associated with Corporate Lending – Balance Sheets, Profit & Loss Accounts etc. – and relies more on the trust and rapport built up between the customer and the lender.

By the end of this course lenders to Personal Customers will be able to:

- Understand the process for assessing lending propositions from Personal Customers
- Utilise that process to come to a logical decision to agree to the loan or to decline it with robust reasons
- Manage and control a Personal Lending portfolio to ensure, as far as possible, that all loans are repaid in full. (Remembering that there’s no completely risk-free lending…!)
- Build rapport with customers to (try to!) ensure that all their loans are fully repaid

Course goal:

Overview:

- GRC Basic terms and definitions
- Principles of GRC
- Core components, practices and activities

Overview

Across the globe regulators are increasingly linking the amount of risk taken by a bank to the amount of capital it is required to hold and banks and financial services are increasingly being managed on risk-based management practices. The banks, their products, the regulations and the global market are becoming increasingly complex, driving ever greater challenges in effective risk management. A key lesson of the banking crisis of the last five years is that risks are highly integrated and to manage them efficiently banks have to understand these interactions.

Key features include:

- the explanation of the current risk-based regulations
- detailed review of the major risks faced by banks
- industry best practices for adopting an enterprise approach to integrating risk management across an entire organisation
- using governance techniques to build a group wide culture to ensure everyone takes an active role in managing risks in line with the banks strategic objectives
- what challenges could be faced by risk managers in the future.

The course will make extensive use of case studies designed to explore, examine and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at banks will be used throughout the course to highlight how they have failed to manage their risks and actions that could have been taken to prevent loss.

In this instructor-led, live training in Uruguay, we walk new managers through the most important concepts of strategic thinking, putting theory into practice through task-based activities based on real-life cases. Participants get a unique opportunity to learn new ways of thinking, implement key concepts to solve problems, reflect on how these principles apply to their own work, and listen to and share their own perspectives with their instructor and class peers.
