Title: Measuring Credit Risk (Risk Management Series)
Description: "This manual picks up from Corporate Credit Analysis, another book in this series. Having understood the various ways in which the financial strength and viability of a business can be assessed, a credit analyst needs to know how decisions about giving or taking credit can be reached and to understand in more detail how the various methods of analysis are used. That is the purpose of this book. It introduces the various means of assessing credit worthiness and applies them to different scenarios.

It explains the role played by credit rating agencies and the nature of information supplied. It also explains what other sources of information can be obtained. Having established the kind of information that is necessary to gauge the level of credit risk, the manual examines in turn the various methods of assessing different industries. This includes in-house credit assessments, industry and country risk, setting and policing credit limits and credit deterioration.

It also includes specific guidance on assessing the creditworthiness of banks."--BOOK JACKET.
