    Study Notes

    Learning Objectives

    • Upon completing this chapter, students should be able to apply key lending principles in credit risk assessment.
    • They should use the 5Cs and CAMPARI framework within credit risk assessment.
    • Students should understand credit information acquisition and verification methods.
    • Finally, they should be able to describe loan agreements and security documentation.

    Principles of Lending

    • Every credit facility involves risk.
    • Credit officers must understand and apply fundamental credit principles during credit evaluations.
    • Sound credit judgments and effective credit risk management are essential.
    • Core lending principles include: risk-taking, prioritizing credit quality, proportionate stake, risk diversification, control, pari-passu, and protection.

    RECAP: Bank Process Insights

    • The bank process includes origination, approval, administration, and recovery phases.
    • Credit analysis, lending principles, and information verification take place during the approval stage.
    • Loan and security documentation occurs in the administration stage.

    Principles of Lending (Continued)

    • Risk taking involves identifying and mitigating risks through covenants, terms, and conditions.
    • Quality of credit is paramount (lenders need to ensure loan asset quality).
    • To compensate for loan losses, lenders may need to extend significantly more new loans.
    • Risk diversification is crucial in mitigating concentration risk.
    • Proportionate stake assessment involves evaluating financial and capital commitments of owners to assess potential for debt default.
    • Control includes managing facility usage and establishing repayment sources.
    • Pari-passu ensures lenders have equal rights relative to others during borrower liquidation.
    • Protection involves securing the loan through collateral or guarantees.

    Principles of Lending (Continued)

    • Controlling loan tenures to match borrower needs ensures appropriate financing and reduces funding mismatch.
    • Purposeful and productive lending requires the loan's purpose to align with the business's activities, and the loan to generate income.
    • Appropriate financing tenure ensures loan repayment matches asset life cycles.

    Credit Evaluation Framework

    • Credit evaluation involves assessing potential borrowers for positive attitudes, responsibility, and willingness to meet obligations before evaluating capacity, financial commitment, and collateral.
    • Important credit evaluation models include 5Cs and CAMPARI.

    The 5Cs Model

    • This model assesses character, capacity, capital, conditions, and collateral.
    • Character: The borrower's integrity, responsibility, and reputation.
    • Capacity: The borrower's ability to generate cash flow for repayment.
    • Capital: The financial commitment of the borrower.
    • Conditions: External macroeconomic factors affecting the borrower.
    • Collateral: The security offered for the loan.

    The CAMPARI Model

    • This model assesses character, ability to repay, margin of finance, purpose, amount, and repayment terms.
    • Character: Similar to the 5Cs model assessing borrower integrity.
    • Ability to repay: Similar to 5Cs capacity to assess borrower's cash flow.
    • Margin of Finance: Lender contributes a defined margin.
    • Purpose: The loan's purpose is relevant to the business.
    • Amount: Lender commits a suitable amount.
    • Repayment Terms: Defining the loan repayment structure.

    Credit Information and Verification

    • In situations with loan defaults, insurance proceeds typically cover the loan.
    • Credit information and verification involve various company documents, third-party opinions, and checking for warning signals.

    Warning Signals

    • Qualified audit reports and sudden changes in auditors, warehousing arrangements or frequent legal actions by or involving the borrower.
    • Non-filing of statutory documents with the relevant governing bodies or concerning indicators in credit reports.

    Loan Securities and Documentation

    • Loan security and documentation are part of the loan process.
