• Independent financial analysis
  
• Organization of the internal debt management function
• Management of non-performing loan portfolios

  What’s on your mind?

• The borrower’s financial position has recently significantly deteriorated.
• Scheduled interest and principal repayments exceed the cash flows generated by the borrower’s business.
• The borrower breaches the financial covenants or is expected to breach them in the near future.
• The borrower’s integrity is unclear.

Your questions

• Why has the borrower’s financial position deteriorated?
• Are any funds being channelled out of the business?
• How robust are the borrower’s forecasts?
• Which factors affecting cash flows are under the borrower’s control, and which are not?
• Can the loan be refinanced?
• Can the security be foreclosed?
• Can the debt be converted to equity in the company?
• Can the debt be sold?
• What realistic debt servicing and repayment arrangements may be adopted given the borrower’s current financial position and forecasts for the future?

What’s on your mind?

• The borrower only recognizes that it is a distressed company late in the day
• The system of early warning signals that a borrower might become a distressed company is ineffective
• The strategy for work with borrowers does not include a restructuring stage: the borrower is either considered a standard borrower or is immediately classified within the debt recovery pile
• The functionality of the debt management division is confined to legal procedures, while the out-of-court settlement procedure is not applied extensively
• There is no methodology for assessing the financial position of „distressed borrowers“ and constructing a respective cash flow forecast. Meanwhile it transpires that the assessment methodology applied to standard borrowers is unsound
• The process for work with restructured loans during restructuring and after the recovery of solvency is set up ineffectively
• The KPI system of the debt management division is ineffective

Your questions

• How do you set up the early monitoring system to promptly identify potential non-performing loans and facilitate the proactive adoption of measures aimed at the strengthening of the bank’s position, the recovery of debt or restructuring?
• Why are the regular client risk assessment division and business unit ineffective in their work with borrowers that find themselves in dire financial straits?
• How do you avoid starting the debt recovery procedure too late or too early?
• How do you enhance the effectiveness of work with bad debt?
• How do you avoid duplicating the functionality of the debt management division with other divisions of the bank?

  What’s on your mind?

• The quality of your bank’s loan portfolio has recently deteriorated significantly.
• You have the required liquidity reserves and want to acquire a number of problem loan portfolios, but have doubts about their actual quality.

Your questions

• How can the risks associated with your existing problem loan portfolios be mitigated?
