2024 Summer Underwriting Level 2

August 20 to 22, 2024

Date and Time

August 20-22, 2024
3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET each day

Description

Underwriting Level 2 explores three case studies individually. An emphasis is placed on identifying strengths and weaknesses of each, along with determining, through class participation, any structural changes that could have been addressed in underwriting to better manage the risks within each case. Participants will also explore ways each credit may have been managed ineffectively and discuss what protocols could have been put in place to contain any potential exposure. Through post-mortem review of these three case studies, participants can strengthen their approach to borrower and collateral pitfalls and more quickly identify patterns found in problem accounts to more proactively manage their risk.  

We recommended that participants first complete Underwriting Level 1 before moving on to this curriculum.

Instructor

Mignon Winston, VP Underwriting, Great Rock CapitalUnderwriting is far more than gathering data and calculating ratios. Underwriters need to make judgments about how to manage risk, and these are best when based in experience and when incorporating industry standards and best practices. Underwriting Level 1 will help participants in setting up lending parameters on prospective deals by managing and mitigating known and perceived risks more effectively. Learn how industry leaders think through credit issues and manage risk.

What participants will learn:

• A thorough and systematic overview of the key aspects of ABL underwriting;
• How to deepen awareness and understanding of assessing risks; 
• How to develop deeper questioning skills to identify inconsistencies and potential fraud; and, 
• How to develop a stronger ability to propose strategies to minimize the key risks for that client and report effectively to a credit committee.
