Industry Standards for Credit Risk Management Practices
CCRO and IECA working together to publish new industry standards. With our Cooperation Agreement in-place, we are ready to kick-off this exciting initiative…
New platform for on-line collaboration and task management is set-up
Legacy CCRO papers are loaded for editing, re-organization, and aggregation
Sponsors are in-place to support group meetings & events
Discussion Hosts:
TBA
This new CCRO group is forming quickly, by first establishing the leadership group of credit-practitioner members. In addition, we want to invite the appropriate credit solution providers as CCRO advocate members to provide expertise and resources needed to tackle research and carry-out case-example credit analyses for the paper. The wider team of credit professionals participating as editors is expected to incorporate a wide cross-section of industry and specialties.
CCRO welcomes the International Energy Credit Association (IECA) to this initiative.
CCRO and IECA will be working together to advance development of this set of white papers as well as related events & training...
2:30 The KRI Working Group expands
Key Risk Indicators and CCRO Benchmarking
Many members have indicated they do internally measure and report their own KRIs. They also indicated that the value of these measures is limited because they can only be inward-looking, measuring only their own numbers and trends. However, benchmarking to industry peers would dramatically increase the value of KRI measures by bringing a sense of what numbers and trends may be "best" or "worst" in-class KRI results. With external KRI benchmarking, a CRO's reports can make a much more compelling case for internal change initiatives.
Taking constructive action towards solving this situation, the CCRO's KRI working group has created a database of anonymous industry KRI benchmarking statistics, particularly in the area of operative risks. Our proof of concept of this database and an associated cloud-based reporting tool is already available.
Two threads for this meeting’s discussion about this initiative are being developed:
“Operationalizing” participation in the trade area KRIs….
“Advancing” into new credit risk management KRIs…
