IF YOU MISSED THIS BEST-SELLING AUDIO CONFERENCE, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO ATTEND!
With the issuance of updated guidance on the establishment of the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) at the end of 2006 together with the current safety and soundness concern over increasing mortgage foreclosures, examiners are focusing on loan quality reviews during their examinations. Although loan quality reviews are not new, this examiner focus means that financial institutions must reevaluate their own loan review programs to ensure that they meet ALLL system transparency requirements as well as safety and soundness regulations and guidelines.
An effective loan review system should have, at a minimum, the following objectives:
- To promptly identify loans with potential credit weaknesses.
- To appropriately grade or adversely classify loans, especially those with well-defined credit weaknesses that jeopardize repayment, so that timely action can be taken and credit losses can be minimized.
- To identify relevant trends that affect the collectability of the portfolio and isolate segments of the portfolio that are potential problem areas.
- To assess the adequacy of and adherence to internal credit policies and loan administration procedures and to monitor compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
- To evaluate the activities of lending personnel including their compliance with lending policies and the quality of their loan approval, monitoring, and risk assessment.
- To provide senior management and the board of directors with an objective and timely assessment of the overall quality of the loan portfolio.
- To provide management with accurate and timely credit quality information for financial and regulatory reporting purposes, including the determination of an appropriate ALLL.
Join this important audio conference and ensure that your institution is adequately covering these objectives. We will discuss the following areas in this time critical audio conference:
