HOW WE HELP banks MANAGE RISK
From policy development to training and consulting.
EVERY DECISION IS A PORTFOLIO DECISION
At SRM, we recognize that every added credit you approve and fund changes the risk embedded in your portfolio. Our training and consulting services assist you in determining and measuring the risk impact of incremental changes in your largest asset, your credit portfolio.
The SRM approach keys in on the 7 core cash drivers of your clients. These core drivers represent the elements of your analysis that have the greatest impact on the quality of your portfolio. They also represent the greatest risks of deterioration or default within your credit portfolio.
OUR RISK MANAGEMENT MODEL
Cash flow repays debt. This is the framework around which our comprehensive risk management model and cash flow analysis is built. It requires moving beyond a traditional cash flow model.
The SRM risk management model focuses on the interactions between the income statement and balance sheet, changes in the balance sheet over time, and assessing the sensitivity of how the 7 core cash drivers are impacting your client's ability to repay.
Our goal for every SRM client, regardless of industry, is to deliver sound credit analysis that leads to an acceptable level of credit risk in your credit portfolio, while adding value to your client relationships.

I left with a much stronger understanding of how to identify and apply the principals of credit to put together and manage a relationship.
