Using Credit Risk Ratings to Determine Asset Quality Webinar

The “A” in the CAMELS rating system utilized by bank regulators is perhaps one of the most important factors they consider when examining financial institutions. The “A” represents Asset Quality and it is scrutinized extensively when banks are examined. Studies continue to indicate the primary reason why banks failed is due to poor Asset Quality followed closely by poor policies, procedures and management. Asset Quality is so important that it forms the basis of capital requirements assigned by regulators and is viewed by investment community to establish value.

Banks approximates Asset Quality and the potential for complete repayment by utilizing Risk or Credit Ratings. Credit Ratings are based on the financial institution’s underwriting standards. If a financial institution’s underwriting standards are weak, then the Credit Ratings will not reflect the risk in the loan portfolio properly.
