Corporates are encountering difficulties that are comparable in severity to those encountered during the financial crisis of 2008–2009 as the economic outlook in Europe and the US continues to worsen. Commercial banks and other lending institutions will be vulnerable to significant credit losses if they do not accurately analyze their credit risk exposures and update their forecasting models. This training assists a variety of credit professionals in overcoming the analytical, structure, and forecasting difficulties they now encounter. In order to evaluate, limit, and balance credit risks, we analyze complex accounts, group structures, and scenarios using increasingly sophisticated analytical and structuring tools. We evaluate the relationships between parent and subsidiary credit as well as how to apply notching to layered capital structures. We also look at debt structuring, including different forms of hybrid capital, ESG-related issuance, and supplier finance, as well as how to assist a borrower in creating an ideal capital structure. In our final section, we go through how to analyze troubled and deteriorating credits, how to recognize early indicators of a credit profile that is deteriorating, and how to reorganize companies that are still viable.

Post the global financial crisis, the role of the Treasury within a bank is more challenging than ever. The regulation that followed the crisis, in particular Basel III, has meant that optimizing assets and liabilities is vital in mitigating the ‘hit’ on Return on Equity that the regulation represents. This workshop looks to explain the fundamental role of the ALM function and, via real-life case studies and excel based simulations, explain how the function looks to optimize balance sheet performance via the more selective deployment of balance sheet resources. In addition, it will explore the fluid regulatory landscape in which ALM is functioning and outline what the industry considers as best practice in terms of dealing with the challenges that the landscape presents. Hence by attending the day workshop, delegates will be better equipped to work in or with the ALM function and support the optimization of the balance sheet they are tasked to achieve.
