Borrower assessment mistakes: Looking beyond the financial statements

Some of the most important credit risks never appear directly on a financial statement. Management quality, business strategy, customer concentration, succession planning, and organizational resilience can all determine whether a borrower performs as expected or begins to deteriorate.

This webinar will examine the qualitative mistakes lenders often make when assessing borrowers. We will discuss how to evaluate the people, strategy, and operating risks behind the numbers, and why strong financial results can sometimes mask deeper vulnerabilities.

You will learn:

• Why experience does not always equal management competence
• How relationship bias, key-person dependencies, and succession risks can weaken borrower assessment
• How customer, vendor, guarantor, and revenue concentration can affect repayment risk
