Understanding the Role of Credit Risk Analysis
Credit risk refers to the possibility that a borrower or counterparty may fail to meet its financial obligations.
A Credit Risk Analyst helps a bank assess this risk before or during the credit approval process. This may involve reviewing financial and business information, evaluating credit proposals, checking compliance requirements, and ensuring proposals meet the bank’s risk-management standards.
