CEIS evaluates a Client Institution’s internal Credit Risk Management framework to provide an objective assessment of the effectiveness of credit risk management controls in place in relation to regulatory guidance and leading industry “best practices”. Engagements may be structured to include or exclude accompanying policy and procedures documentation drafting dependent on the Clients request.
Commercial lending organizations will engage CEIS to review their Credit Risk Management controls when (a) establishing a credit risk management framework, (b) adjusting the credit risk management controls or, (c) prior to or following an agency’s regulatory examination.
Examples of the credit risk management review include:
- Credit & Administration process – an overall review of an Institutions Credit & Credit related process’ related to commercial lending and portfolio management.
- Internal Loan Review – an objective assessment of the Institutions loan review function including operational independence & Board support, annual coverage & timing, staffing appropriateness & overall effectiveness, and reporting.

- Matters Requiring Attention (“MRA”) – CEIS provides guidance & support for Clients managing regulatory issues related to credit risk under a regulatory letter.
Credit Risk Management reviews can be performed as a standalone assignment or combined with a CEIS’ other services for a comprehensive solution.
