Course overview:

The pandemic aftershocks coupled with high inflation, skills shortages, energy prices spike and other geopolitical events have reinforced the necessity to assess the risk of clients and suppliers alike.

Newly appointed credit analysts need to get to grips very quickly with the skills and capabilities required to perform a financial analysis to assess the credit risk of a business. Reliance on external agencies is simply not sufficient.

This interactive and very practical briefing will walk delegates through the introductory phases and will be a highly practical and interactive session. Some pre-webinar work will be expected of the attendees.

UK Finance is running this workshop as part of a series of online workshops which will provide practical support for staff members working closely with clients in analytical roles, increasing their ability to understand both financial and non-financial commercial customer risk issues. 

There are four workshops in total, each is standalone so can be attended independently, but our recommendation is for your organisation to send colleagues to all four - the most appropriate colleague can attend each one, see below for details of the entire series.

This training is also available as an in-house programme, which means you can tailor it to exactly what you and your colleagues require. Pricing for in-house will depend on what is required. Enquire about this option by contacting our training team.
