Commercial Banking Web Conference Hosted by Credit Training Specialist to Discuss Corporate Finance Fundamentals

Using corporate finance techniques to assess commercial banking risk, build profitable credit relationships is the focus of this live Omega Performance web event scheduled for 15 May 2008.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) May 5, 2008

In today's sophisticated commercial banking environment, lenders who don't understand key corporate finance fundamentals could be overlooking potential risk factors or missing opportunities to expand business relationships. Corporate finance should be a major focus of credit training and development for any commercial banking institution's lenders and relationship managers who are charged with deepening relationships and building sources of fee-generating services.

On May 15, 2008, credit training specialist, Omega Performance, is hosting a live training and development web event entitled: "Corporate Finance: Viewing Investment Decisions through Your Customers' Eyes" beginning at 12:00 PM EDT. During the session, Dr. Jerry Crigger, senior consultant: credit and risk and Vicki Martell, vice president and product manager for credit & commercial sales products will share key corporate finance fundamentals for assessing commercial credit risk and building profitable client relationships.

"Most commercial banking professionals are trained to assess risk relative to the extension of credit; not on factors related to the significant investment decisions made by their clients," according to Dr. Crigger. "Vicki and I will discuss key corporate finance fundamentals that will improve overall risk analysis including: three decision criteria utilized by corporate and commercial clients, how to analyze the weighted average cost of capital for a firm, various funding options available to firms, and the importance of identifying and qualifying corporate finance candidates for financial institutions."
