Gaining Efficiencies and Access: Finance and the Credit Lifecycle

Document: Published Sep 23, 2015
Since the financial crisis, lenders are less willing to take on credit risk, particularly of smaller business customers. However, as the CFO Magazine ebook entitled Gaining efficiencies and access: Finance and the credit lifecycle demonstrates, streamlining the credit-risk-management life cycle enables lenders to feel more confident extending credit to prospective small businesses, thus revitalizing our economy and business growth. In order to make wise decisions about credit extensions, senior finance executives need a blend of external and internal information to gain the best possible perspective on their risk: a forward-looking (rather than merely historical) perspective that takes potential upside opportunities into account (rather than focusing exclusively on possible downsides).
