Frequently Asked Questions
Top questions we receive on risk management and compliance.
How should a bank approach portfolio monitoring for risk?
Effective portfolio monitoring is a comprehensive process that involves several key components. It begins with regularly reviewing loan performance and credit quality indicators to ensure that all aspects of the portfolio are functioning optimally. This regular review helps in identifying any potential issues that may arise. Additionally, utilizing advanced analytics plays a crucial role in detecting early warning signs of increased risk. These analytics provide insights that allow for proactive measures to be taken before small issues become significant problems. Furthermore, it is essential to adjust lending strategies based on observed portfolio trends and economic changes. By doing so, lenders can remain agile and responsive to the evolving financial landscape, ensuring the portfolio remains strong and viable over time.

What does a bank audit look for in terms of risk management strategy?
A bank audit will assess various components of risk management, including the effectiveness of policies and procedures in identifying, measuring, and controlling risk. It also evaluates the accuracy and completeness of risk reporting and data management, as well as compliance with regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
Â
How can exception tracking and tickler management support my institution?
Exception tracking involves monitoring loans that deviate from standard terms or require additional documentation. Tickler management refers to the process of setting reminders for critical loan events, such as renewals or document expirations. Both processes help maintain compliance and reduce risk by ensuring timely action on outstanding items. By effectively managing these processes, a bank can improve its operational efficiency, minimize errors, and enhance customer satisfaction by proactively addressing issues before they escalate. This proactive approach not only safeguards the bank against potential risks but also streamlines workflows, allowing staff to focus on strategic growth initiatives and improving overall service delivery
Â
How can we prepare for CECL compliance?
The Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) standard is a framework introduced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that requires banks to estimate expected credit losses over the life of a loan. To ensure compliance, banks should implement robust data collection and analysis processes to accurately forecast credit losses. It is also important to regularly review and update models to reflect current economic conditions. Additionally, engaging with external auditors to validate methodologies and assumptions used is crucial.
