• Be responsible to some degree for helping manage credit risk organizationally.
• Have oversight (or be preparing to have oversight) of analysts and lenders who calculate GCF.
• Play a role (or be looking to play a greater role) in loan collections and managing problem loans.
• Be a decision-maker who takes part in (or be looking to start taking a part in) evaluating potential of lending liability lawsuits.
• Be at the point in their career where they need to take a bigger role in developing a strategy for loan pricing.

If you need a refresher in commercial lending key data points, please consider registering for the optional Financial Statement Analysis for Lenders pre-program workshop.
