Ratio Analysis to Determine Financial Strength Webinar

Credit (Risk) Analysis is one of the most important functions performed by financial institutions. Since interest and fee income from loans represent the largest source of revenue for financial institutions, it is vital that thorough credit analysis be performed before loans are approved and funded.

The Credit Analysis process starts with spreading historical financial statements and then calculating key ratios to determine the financial health of an organization. The purpose of this course is to expose the participant to the five vital signs of any organization and the required ratios to identify them. A detailed identification and definition of ratios will be covered.

Covered Topics:

1.  Liquidity
Current / Quick Ratios
Working Capital Analysis
Defensive Interval Ratio
Activity Ratios for Working Capital Assets
Activity Ratios for Working Capital Liabilities
