Topic Background:
Loan documentation is a critical component in the lending process as it transforms the transaction into a legally enforceable form and clarifies the transaction so that each party understands the details of the lending arrangement.
According to the FDIC Manual of Examination Policies, “The examiner’s evaluation of a bank’s lending policies, credit administration, and the quality of the loan portfolio is among the most important aspects of the examination process. To a great extent, it is the quality of a bank’s loan portfolio that determines the risk to depositors and the FDIC’s insurance fund….Emphasis on review and appraisal of the loan portfolio and its administration by bank management during examinations recognizes, that loans comprise a major portion of most bank’s assets; and, that it is the asset category which ordinarily presents the greatest credit risk and potential loss exposure to banks.”
The statement above needs no further explanation of the importance of the loan portfolio to banks. Those who are entrusted to maintain a safe and sound loan portfolio are scrutinized carefully by federal regulators, before they are hired by financial institutions and while they hold their current credit administration position.
Loan review serves as the eyes and ears of the board of directors, and is the first line of defense in guarding against a faltering loan portfolio by acting as an early warning system for potentially bad loans or negative trends.
Personnel hired to management the loan review process require certain qualifications and skills in order to satisfy the federal regulators’ concerns over the loan review function in banks. As such, this creates an opportunity for banking association to provide a certification process for those involved in this important bank function.
