Share this post:

Join CEIS Review and Sageworks for a jointly held >webinar on August 27th, 2014 2pm EDT to discuss various topics revolving around the CRE Stress Testing process.CEIS performs and manages Stress Testing programs for is clients, while Sageworks provides the software platforms that enable institutions to perform the Stress Tests internally, or facilitate the data aggregation. During the webinar you will gain insights toward what regulators are coming to expect, available options for Banks depending on portfolio complexity, and some of the industry best practices revolving around the exercise.

Commercial Real Estate concentrations are a fact of life for many banks. Whether the bank already has a large CRE concentration or is targeting the segment for growth, CRE stress testing is a key component of an effective risk-management framework and can be one of the best ways to defend and support a CRE concentration. In this webinar, Liz Williams, managing director at CEIS Review, will cover:

Creating a CRE stress testing program, including data requirements

  • Developing meaningful scenarios and stress assumptions
  • Projecting potential rating migration and estimating losses and
  • Using stress test results to assess the impact on capital and reserves

For banks that already have an established CRE stress testing program, we will discuss how to enhance stress testing processes as well as areas of focus for regulators, including expectations for governance, incorporation in other management / risk management processes, and maintaining a “challenge” approach to stress testing.
