SRA Watchtower Adds Exogenous Risk Capabilities
RICHMOND, Va., July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SRA Watchtower adds economic/sectoral risk scoring and assessment capabilities to further bolster its position as the leading integrated risk management platform.
COVID 19 has disrupted conventional risk assessments for consumer and wholesale credit as short term epidemiological and long-term economic, business and credit impact are going to vary substantially across geographies and sectors.
- Will traditional credit scores of consumers and businesses cease to be as relevant in accurately reflecting credit prospects after the structural changes brought by COVID-19?
- Will occupational risk play an important role in consumer credit risk assessments - necessitating an overhaul of data collection?
- Will risk ratings produced by backward-looking wholesale credit rating models need to be overridden significantly, eventually necessitating rebuild of models?
- Will allowance estimates produced by existing models need to be supplanted with significant qualitative adjustments?
- Will college towns cease to be as resilient as they were in the past?
- Will attractive M&A targets need to be reviewed in a different way than the past?
Answers to most of these questions is a resounding "Yes". But is your organization equipped to leverage insights into local economic trends and sectoral prospects to transform business strategy and risk management approaches? Will your institution be the disruptor rather than the one disrupted by changes brought about as a result of COVID-19?
