The RMA Philadelphia Chapter presents a webinar on COVID-19 - Best Practices & Stress Testing followed by Q&A.

When: May 14, 2020 11:00 am - 12:15 pm

PORTFOLIO STRESS TESTING FOR THE PANDEMIC

Peter Cherpack, EVP Partner, Senior Director Credit Technology, Ardmore Banking Advisors (Click HERE to read Bio.)

Todd Sardich, Senior Vice President of Credit Risk Management Consulting
Ardmore Banking Advisors (Click HERE to read Bio.)

As the industry is embroiled in the worst economic crisis of a generation, the use of portfolio stress testing (“sensitivity shocks”) can help banks identify dangerous vulnerabilities and potential capital shortfall in their portfolios. By segmenting the portfolio into key CRE property types and C & I industry categories, and then simulating the impact of loss of income or collateral value on those borrowers, banks can get a directionally correct view of their potential critical areas to address as the crisis unfolds.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICES FOR COVID-19

Louis J. Dunham, Senior Vice President, Senior Director, Risk Management Consulting, Ardmore Banking Advisors (Click HERE to read Bio.)

There has NEVER been a crisis in the USA where “non-essential” businesses were forced to shut down nationwide. The root cause of this crisis isn’t an asset bubble like the great recession – it’s a public health emergency that is inflicting havoc on the entire U.S. economy. So are community and regional banks prepared and equipped to employ “Credit Risk Management Best Practices for COVID-19” or any other pandemic that comes our way?

This program qualifies for 1.5 CRC CEU credits.
