"Very vast and excellent presentation with excel examples which followed on."Credit Risk Manager, African Bank, UK
"It was a well-organized seminar bringing up current issues in financial analysis and how the crisis has affected modelling of credit risk. It was useful in raising more awareness in the changing approach we all have to follow in looking at and interpreting figures and building up expected figures and building up expected figures both short-term and long-term."Credit risk analyst, European Bank, UK
Probability is not well understood by humans – since we didn’t need to evolve the skill to survive. But it is hugely important, particularly in finance as it underpins much of quantitative analysis, risk management, regulatory risk, IFRS 9 accounting and more.
During this course designed for Non-Quantitative Analysts delegates will explore the parameters of credit risk measurement and management which involve probabilities to a large extent: probabilities of default, losses given default and so on, so this will form a large component of the course.
Delegates will also gain a thorough understanding of other parameters of credit risk, such as exposure at default and expected (and unexpected) credit loss measurement.
