CREDIT APPRAISAL

Credit appraisal and management is concerned with the


degree of risk of non-payment that is acceptable.
Credit risk management may be performed scientifically
and subjectively; fundamentally the decision to lend
remains subjective in nature.
Decision making more complex because:
- Lack of documentation
- Lack of entrepreneurship
- Common psyche of Tax evasion
- Lack of standardized book keeping
- High growth of informal sector
- Poor corporate governance
Credit risk management policy will depend on:
- Proactive, well-calculated, conscientious and
objective credit analysis
- Methodological, well-executed monitoring of
client’s business during the loan tenure
- Requires high levels of prudence in selecting
the right borrower, for the right loan, carrying
maximum return
Principals of Lending
1. Safety: Character, capacity, capital, collateral,
condition, (Cash flows)
2. Liquidity: Funds are not blocked for undue long time.
Financial position allows repayment of loan on short
notice
3. Dispersal: Diversification of loans in various sectors,
to a large number of clients
4. Remuneration: Earnings from the loan should
generate sufficient profits
5. Suitability: In conformity with credit policy of the
institution and overall national policy

borrowers of any one type of business or
industry sector.

borrower, or to a few large borrowers.

sound investment quality.

investment collateral upon liquidity of the

managerial and economic factors.

you lend.

operating (profit and loss) statements.

business cycle (production or distribution) of the
borrower so there will be a definite workable
plan for repayment.
- Avoid continuous loans and insist on complete
liquidation at maturity.
- Scrutinize most carefully loans where social,
personal or factors other than business ones
apply.
