Benefits

The Risk Migration Analysis system enables lenders to use historical portfolio performance to forecast future losses and identify specific areas of exposure. Unlike any other software available today, the system combines automated updates, portfolio filtering, risk migration, and drill down reporting in a single turnkey system. This capability enables credit risk, loan review and compliance professionals to easily evaluate any area of interest and respond quickly and confidently to internal and external demands. The benefits of the Risk Migration Analysis System are simple and compelling:

Dramatic Time Savings - Analysts can produce in minutes reports that take hours using traditional database tools and spreadsheets.
Error-Free Analysis - The accuracy of the migration reports is limited only by the quality of the data from the banks Loan Accounting System.
Verifiable Data Integrity - Loan data is unchangeable after it enters the Risk Migration Analysis database.
Automatic Report Validation - Loan level detail reports are automatically generated for every portfolio migration, providing instant validation of summary results.

The process is time intensive – often requiring several hours of an analysts time to perform a single migration

Opportunities for manual and formula-based errors exist at every step of the process

Variations from standard reports can require days for rework

Auditability of migration results to loan accounting system records is difficult or impossible

Intellectual know-how is trapped within spreadsheets and their author

Direct use is limited to analyst who programs the model
