Advanced Loan Monitoring and Portfolio Quality Management

A five-day programme on managing loan portfolio quality after disbursement, covering quality indicators, early warning systems, watch lists, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing, collections, and workout.

Introduction

The Advanced Loan Monitoring and Portfolio Quality Management Training Course equips lending teams to keep a loan book healthy after disbursement.

It covers portfolio indicators, early warning systems, watch list management, and collections. Furthermore, it applies IFRS 9 staging, provisioning, and stress testing to live portfolio decisions. As a result, participants learn to protect asset quality, reduce non-performing loans, and report portfolio performance clearly to management and regulators.
