About the course
Most loans on a lending institution’s books move from closing to full payout in accordance with the terms of the loan without the requirement of a serious collection effort. Unfortunately, some loans will not perform as expected due to several reasons. There are many possible reasons for non-performance of loans, and you must recognise the early warning signs of deteriorating loans and understand what you can do to react quickly to get a positive outcome.
One of the primary reasons why lending institutions fail is that they are slow to detect deteriorating loans, and once identified, they are slow to react. This course is aimed at teaching lending institution managers to develop policies and procedures to manage loan repayments and detect problem loans early, which is fundamental to the long-term success of a lending institution’s credit operations.
