Credit Reasoning & Writing 2017 | Moody's Analytics | 10 July 2017 | London, UK

This topic is increasingly recognized by key institutions as a significant skills gap in their staff. In the age of “cut and paste” and time pressures, senior credit professionals in many financial institutions have lamented that credit approval documents are often lengthy; sometimes reaching 30 to 50 pages without adding the necessary insight. Elevator analysis is still very prevalent in the industry and although possessing strong analytical skills, many analysts lack the ability to summarize their findings succinctly.

This two day seminar is focused on the preparation of credit approval documents that summarize succinctly the overall credit risk exposure that an institution is asked to take on. The seminar will include short presentations, case studies and discussion sessions. A variety of practical work aids will be used that will help seminar participants back in their day-to-day work environment.
