Webinar: Auditing Credit Risk: Credit risk is one of the foundational risks for financial services firms. Providing credit is a large part of what financial services firms do. Over the last several years, regulators have focused on credit risk first emphasizing the necessity of having accurate models that can measure the capital impact of the credit activities, the risk of leveraged finance, and the great importance of counterparty risk. Now, financial services organizations are also grappling with the ramifications of CECL and IFRS 9 to their credit risk management framework. This webinar is an overview of new guidance published by The IIA on Auditing Credit Risk. The purpose of the guidance is to provide internal auditors with a baseline skillset that allows them to test and evaluate credit risk management in their organizations.
