Bank Trainers Conference 2016

Assessing creditworthiness of a borrower is about information. Each borrower will have opportunities and obstacles to repayment of the loan. Bankers need to use the information available to identify those potential issues. One of the primary sources will be the financial statements of the borrower’s. Financial statements are how the borrower keeps score on their management of the business. They represent how the borrower has responded to the marketplace factors impacting their business and themselves. Therefore, the banker can use the financial statements as a starting point in identifying the questions to ask about management performance. In “Getting the Story”, the course will look at the issues of preparation of financial statements by the borrower; both Formal and Informal. Also, we will address the role of accountants, the use of financial statements in the credit decision process, and cash-focused analytical tools. Financial Analysis is the tool we use to conduct a thorough assessment of commercial credit risk. Throughout the workshop we will be working with the financial statement information but the focus will be on getting behind the numbers to address the credit risk issues impacting a borrower’s ability to repay. In this multi-day workshop we will:

Discuss the use of informal financial statements as analytical tools. This will include a discussion of Personal Financial Statements, 1040 Tax Return, and Personal Cash Flow.

Review Accounting from the perspective of accountants. Then, shift to accounting for bankers and need to focus on cash outcomes.

Present a Financial Statement Analysis Framework for getting at the key aspects of business financial statement analysis. The Framework will address the three key components of financial analysis—Comparisons, Ratios, and Cash Flow.

Present and Discuss supporting cash analysis tools of Cash Drivers, Cash-to-Cash Cycle, and Cash Cycle.

Utilize small group exercises and homework to compliment the in-class topics.

Qualitative Analysis: Getting BEYOND the Numbers / June 23, 2016 / 9:00am—4:00pm Financial Analysis, which is really quantitative analysis, is about looking at the numbers and assessing the changes. However, it is not really credit analysis until the outcome of the numbers has been explained. That explanation involves moving from num-bers to the events that caused the numbers to look the way they do. Making an assessment of those events involves qualitative analysis. This allows an analysis to be performed around the events, not just the numbers and allows the borrowers business performance to be more thoroughly explained.

Therefore it is important that the bank manage this portfolio risk at the bank and banker level. We offer a framework for man-aging credit risk and a process for managing credit risk in this workshop. The desired outcome is a better understanding of the factors impacting portfolio quality at the bank level. Lastly, the participant needs to be aware of the tools for having the banker better manage risk at the transaction level. Topics to be covered include: Discuss role of commercial banking and commercial credit in the marketplace Identify and assess the marketplace and economics factors that will impact portfolio quality Discuss bank’s strategy and impact on credit quality Introduce the Strategic Credit Risk Management Framework and discuss each of its components Introduce the Credit Process Framework and discuss each of its components Review credit decision-making process and it’s impact on credit quality Provide opportunity for participants to assess their bank’s risk management situation.

Create a Customized Employee Development Program Unique to Your Financial Institution!

CFT will help create an Employee Development Program specific to your financial institution’s needs. Your program will consist of a track for each identified job function – for example General Banking, Frontline, Personal Banker, Lender, Operations, Supervisor/Team Leader. For each track, CFT will work with your designated expert on that function to combine your internal training programs, training options from other sources, and/or specific CFT courses and seminars.

The goal? To create a clear and concise roadmap that allows employees to take control of their educational development and allows trainers to train rather than continuously struggle with who needs to know what.

Interested in finding out how CFT can help your organization build its own Customized Employee Development Program? Call the CFT office today at 414-332-6468.

Bank Trainers Conference 2016 CFT Policies & Procedures

Code of Ethics The Center for Financial Training recognizes that it takes more than quality education and a commitment to the financial services industry to be successful in accomplishing our mission. We rely heavily on our solid reputation for honesty, fairness, and ethical conduct to attract our students, recruit quality instructors, and retain high levels of customer retention and respect that we have worked hard to achieve. Our reputation ultimately rests on the good judgment and personal integrity of everyone – staff, volunteers, students, instructors, and all other associated individuals and organizations – involved with CFT.

Those associated with CFT in any capacity shall commit themselves to: Maintaining the highest standard of personal conduct, avoiding even the

perception of improper conduct Striving for excellence in all aspects of CFT Using only legal and ethical means in all CFT activities, including conducting

all financial transactions in a responsible manner Acting with impartiality in all CFT matters Maintaining the confidentiality of privileged information entrusted to them

by virtue of their association with CFT Refusing to engage in, or tolerate, activities for personal gain at the

expense of CFT or the financial services industry Communicating in a truthful and accurate manner

Academic Integrity CFT strongly supports the concept of academic integrity and seeks to foster sound moral behavior in its students and faculty. Academic dishonesty can take many forms, including cheating on examinations, plagiarism, helping others to commit dishonest acts, etc. and must never be tolerated. Students engaging in academic dishonesty are subject to serious consequences. Instructors who observe or suspect an incident of academic dishonesty shall bring it to the attention of the appropriate CFT office personnel immediately for prompt investigation, review, and action.

Attendance Policy Student attendance and class participation play an important role in the education process. For this reason, CFT has adopted the following attendance policy. More than three absences in a 15 week course, two absences in a 10 week course, one absence in a 5-8 week course, or any absence in a course of less than 5 weeks may result in the loss of course credits, a decrease in grade, or removal from the course. The entire cost of the course will still be charged and the student may be responsible for those charges.

Substitution If you intend to withdraw prior to the start of class, a substitute may attend. CFT must be notified in writing of a substitution prior to the start date to avoid the withdrawal fee.

Nondiscrimination Clause CFT reaffirms its standing policy of nondiscrimination in employment and in all programs and activities with respect to race, creed, color, gender, age, religion, national origin, handicap, or veterans’ status.

Smoking Policy There is absolutely no smoking allowed in any facility that CFT holds programs. Those who smoke will have to do so in designated areas outside of the building.

Inclement Weather Policy In the event of inclement weather, students attending courses held at schools or colleges should listen to their local radio station for closing announcements. Students attending courses/seminars held at financial institutions or other facilities will be notified by the CFT office if the course/seminar will be cancelled due to inclement weather. If you are ever in doubt, please call your instructor or the CFT office at 414-332-6468.

Grading CFT uses an official letter grading system for courses eligible for awarding credit. Letter grades are awarded as follows:

A (90-100%) B (80-89%) C (70-79%) D (60-69%) F (>60%)

Only courses completed with a “C” or better may be considered for transfer credit. There may be a fee charged for transferring credits onto the CFT transcript. W = Withdraw (Recorded when written notification is received prior to the conclusion of the course. An “F” will be recorded if the student has not withdrawn in writing.)

Bank Trainers Conference 2016 Student Recordkeeping

Recordkeeping The Center for Financial Training follows a strict confidentiality policy regarding CFT student records. All requests for CFT student records must be submitted in writing from the student. The one exception to this requirement is for the appropriate representative at the student’s financial institution to receive the student’s grade upon the completion of the course, and periodically receive transcript information on employees for personnel files. Students sign an authorization to release this information to their employer when they register for a CFT course. Following are the types of recordkeeping services available. Student Transcript CFT maintains all student records on file at the CFT office. Students who wish to obtain a copy of their CFT student records should complete the CFT Transcript Request Form found on our website or obtainable from the CFT office. Most colleges and universities require an official transcript when students request a transfer in of CFT credits. An official CFT transcript costs $25 per copy requested and includes an unofficial copy sent to the student. Please note that transcripts cannot be faxed. If the last courses taken were prior to 1990, an additional $10 archival fee will apply. Credit Transfer Evaluation CFT accepts transfer credit from most colleges and universities. In order to receive transfer credit into a CFT student record, students will need to complete the CFT Transfer Evaluation Form found on our website or obtainable from the CFT office and forward it along with the $40.00 transfer credit evaluation fee. Please instruct your college to send your official transcript directly to the CFT office. Upon completion of the transfer credit evaluation by CFT, students will receive their CFT transcript reflecting which college credits were accepted into their CFT student record.
