Creditinfo Academy Webinar Overview
Credit risk modeling is undoubtedly among the most crucial issues in the field of financial risk management. With the recent financial turmoil and the regulatory changes introduced by the Basel accords, credit risk analytics has been receiving even greater attention by the financial and banking industry.
In this presentation, we will decompose credit risk into its three components: PD (probability of default), LGD (loss given default) and EAD (exposure at default).
We will then introduce a multi-level architecture to model the three components and illustrate how this can also be used for backtesting, benchmarking and stress testing.
Throughout the talk, we will embed both our research and industry experience and give key recommendations and guidelines to the challenges mentioned.
We will conclude by giving an overview of our new Self-Paced E-learning course on Credit Risk Modeling,
