The Credit Delivery Process: Are You Ready?
Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 1PM EDT
The business of delivering lending and other credit products is no longer segregated into the processes of origination, closing and servicing. Credit delivery is now a holistic and integrated enterprise process from front to back, and banks must monitor and optimize their credit processes with a single control model as the basic framework. This requires controls, data quality, business process management, customer service, risk and reporting, all in a unified construct, with entirely new metrics, management structures and organizational models. Many banks are not only unprepared for these new expectations, but ill equipped to meet them. This presentation will address the underlying trends and causes of these new developments, and will provide a framework for banks to anticipate and manage them effectively.
