Right or wrong, credit policy is the organization’s rule book for its credit risk management strategy, and it also reflects the organization’s credit culture. Both the market and the regulatory agencies expect the credit policy to be accurate, current, and succinct so that both line and credit have unambiguous and clear direction on how to identify, evaluate, underwrite, approve, book and monitor creditworthy clients. A well-crafted credit policy will ensure everyone is on the same page, reduces conflict and confusion, minimizes the need for rigid controls and supports your organizational vision and mission.
