Background of the Study
Effective risk management is central to maintaining a healthy loan portfolio in banking. First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has adopted an integrated risk management process that leverages advanced analytics, real-time monitoring, and predictive modeling to assess credit risk. This holistic system enables FCMB to identify early warning signals of borrower distress, allowing for proactive intervention to reduce the incidence of non-performing loans (NPLs). By combining traditional credit assessment with modern data-driven approaches, FCMB aims to enhance credit quality and improve asset quality. Integrated risk management supports regulatory compliance and contributes to overall financial stability by ensuring that risk exposures are managed effectively.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the adoption of an integrated risk management process, FCMB continues to struggle with a persistent level of non-performing loans. Challenges arise from difficulties in seamlessly integrating new risk management tools with existing legacy systems, which can lead to delays in identifying credit risks. Additionally, the dynamic nature of credit markets necessitates constant updates to risk models; any lag in these updates may result in inaccurate risk assessments. Resistance among traditional credit analysts to adopt new methodologies further complicates the effective utilization of integrated risk systems. These issues underscore the need for a thorough evaluation of FCMB’s risk management integration to determine its effectiveness in reducing NPLs and to develop strategies for addressing existing challenges.
