Treatment of credit risk has shifted greatly since the financial crisis of 2008. Prior to then, it was considered almost inconceivable that major investment banks and global insurers could default and create a systemic credit and liquidity crisis. This Credit Risk Assessment course gives participants a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and methodologies in understanding the drivers of credit risk, modeling tools used for measurement of credit risk and current best practice in credit risk management techniques.  By the end of this workshop, you will

• Analyze the micro-financial drivers of credit risk and macro-economic factors which impact system-wide credit risk
• Demonstrate proficiency with different methods and tools for credit scoring
• Explain modeling techniques for assessing credit risk and identify key elements of credit risk
