Role purpose

Credit Risk Review Examiners plan and conduct reviews of wholesale credit portfolios.  Examiners examine in detail a representative sample of portfolio clients. For each reviewed client, examiners read relevant internal credit approval memoranda as well as the client’s public financial disclosures, press releases, external rating agency opinions, among other materials.  Based on the information reviewed, examiners develop independent assessments of the appropriate risk rating for the reviewed clients and record their analyses and conclusions in a workpaper database.  The examiners’ written analyses must be concise but thorough and may be subject to review by external bank examiners.

Between formal reviews, Examiners independently monitor credit trends in individually assigned industry or geography-based wholesale portfolios and record their observations in monitoring journals.  Credit Risk Review maintains an ongoing relationship with internal stakeholders responsible for credit approval, client credit management and credit policy.  Examiners also interact periodically with external bank examiners.
