Audience
The evaluation of credit worthiness is often overlooked in favor of its more glamorous sister, credit risk management. While the management of risk has enjoyed substantial popularity due to in part to the ability of the Black-Sholes formula to hedge risk and the rise in popularity of derivative securities, the ability to evaluate credit worthiness has received only nodding recognition. Nevertheless an important subject, credit risk analysis is the subject of this "how to" book written by Keith Checkley, formerly of Barclays Bank and now Associate Director of Prebon Training Services, a firm that delivers customized training and seminar services to corporations and banks in Europe, the United States, and the Pacific Rim.
