Credit Documentation, Monitoring & NPA Management/Recovery Masterclass

Getting the money back — early detection of problem loans, restructuring distressed borrowers and a workable action plan to bring the NPL ratio down.

Format

Classroom · Live Virtual

The programme

Lending institutions across the world are still carrying high levels of actual or potential non-performing loans — and every month a problem credit goes undetected, the recovery options narrow. This masterclass takes a practical approach to the stages of restructuring distressed businesses, so bankers can facilitate the process and contain loss to the bank while maximising recovery rates within prevailing insolvency law, the lender’s own capital position and the interests of wider stakeholders. The cohort works through early detection, the anatomy of credit failure, and the options and methods for resolving both non-performing portfolios and individual loans — illustrated throughout with real-life case studies and closed out with a bank-level improvement plan.

What you will do

Detect problem loans early, reading market signals and failure prediction models before the provision hits.
Diagnose why credits fail — problematic business models, input and offtake contract risk, ownership behaviour and poor loan structure.
Judge waiver requests and insolvent trading within the applicable insolvency regime, judicial oversight and directors’ responsibilities.
Build a remedial business plan for a distressed borrower that protects the bank’s position.
Define NPLs and their indicators, costing their impact on the institution’s soundness and reputation.
Execute an action plan to curb the NPL ratio, including recourse to the Small Debt Resolution Committee.

Who attends

  • Heads of recovery, restructuring, collections and special asset management
  • Heads of risk, credit and legal, with their teams
  • Lending managers, corporate loan originators and corporate finance heads
  • Corporate and client relationship managers
  • Senior and support staff involved in recoveries

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

Do these programmes cover the Basel III final reforms and the ICAAP/ILAAP cycle?

Yes. The BIZENIUS banking curriculum is built around the Basel III endgame, ICAAP, ILAAP, IRRBB, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing and BCBS 239. Participants leave able to quantify the output floor on their own portfolios, write capital and liquidity documents that withstand supervisory review, and defend the numbers to their board.

Are the programmes adapted to regional supervisors such as SAMA, CBUAE or BCEAO?

Casework is built around supervisory documents rather than textbook theory, and faculty include former practitioners who have sat on both sides of an examination. Programmes address the questions SAMA, CBUAE, BCEAO and other home regulators actually put to the desk, and an in-house edition can be tailored to a single jurisdiction.

How do I secure a seat on a banking programme?

Apply for a seat or request the brochure from the programme page. A senior practitioner — not a sales team — responds within one business day, and the brochure arrives with that reply. BIZENIUS runs on enquiry: there is no online checkout.

Can a programme run in-house for our bank?

Every BIZENIUS programme can be delivered in-house, tailored to your balance sheet, your regulator and your data, in English or French. Many institutions start with an open cohort, then commission a private edition for the wider team.
