Purpose – The study aims to assess credit risk management practices within financial institutions in Ghana. Specifically, the study compares credit risk management practices of listed banks in Ghana with Basel II (1999). Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is based on data gathered from varied sources, namely, use of questionnaires, analysis of internal credit policies and procedure manuals and semi-structured interviews and discussions with credit risk managers of the selected banks in May 2007 and October 2014. Findings – Overall, the credit risk management practices within listed banks in Ghana are in line with sound practices. The only dissimilarity, however, is the role of the board of directors in defining acceptable types of loans and maximum maturities for the various types of loans. The listed banks in Ghana are also exposed to credit risks associated with granting both corporate and small business commercial loans and the use of collaterals to mitigate their credit risk exposures. Practical implications – Banks in Ghana should consider developing the skills of all their personnel and appropriately motivating those involved in the credit risk management processes to ensure that they carry out this process efficiently. Originality/value – Research into credit risk management in the banking industry from the Ghanaian perspective remains scant. This study is, therefore, timely, and its findings are invaluable for the efficient management of credit risk in the banking industry. This study provides policy recommendations which will enhance shareholder value and, in this way, contribute to greater stability in the banking sector in developing countries, in particular.

The study aimed to analyze the credit risk management practices that the commercial banking sector in Morocco is committed to and their impact on the banking sector.Accordingly, the study reached many conclusions about the importance of applying the mechanism of transferring risks into credit opportunities in the market, which can be achieved through diversifying the bank’s revenue schemes in an optimal manner and correct compatibility with market requirements, which allows the bank to use different sources of interest and fees granted from other areas of service that provided by the Bank, rather than focusing primarily on loan portfolios. In addition, the study highlighted the importance of the relevant specialist within the Bank to deal with more macroeconomic research. Designed for market-based economies, other than adopting credit trend analysis alone, therefore, depreciation of bank assets comes from a variety of market drivers, which have a fundamental role in influencing the credit capabilities of the bank.

Financial institutions provide financial services to their clients or retail customers where money is managed. Credit risk has been identified as one of the dominant risks that affect the performance of a company. A firm’s efficiency with different credit risk management practices is still unknown. This research aims to evaluate the credit risk management and efficiency of the financial institutions that are publicly listed in Bursa Malaysia from year 2013-2016 with the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model. Based on the financial ratios, the DEA model allows the relative efficiency of a set of companies to be assessed by solving a linear programming model. The results show that ALLIANZ, APEX, BURSA, ECM, LPI and TAKAFUL are efficient in terms of their credit risk management. This study identifies the efficient and inefficient financial companies in Malaysia.

Risk management as a very rapid emerging subject has been affected by several happenings in the world. There are many studies covering risk definition, risk types, and risk management, plus there are many contemporary approaches in order to calculate the risk incurred by the companies due to their transactions. In the modern business life, since the transactions have become very fast and their risk exposure increases, the companies, especially the financial institutions, started to use new techniques to measure the probable effects of the risks that they have taken while undertaking the transactions. In this chapter, the authors show two techniques as the contemporary approaches to risk management. These are operations research and statistics. They know that these two concepts are very detailed and sophisticated tools, which require software for better results. The banks have been investing in these solutions, and they are designing new organizations to handle these issues. Thus, the authors introduce these techniques very briefly with using some banking practices for better understanding.
