Lending and Credit have a different outlook on risk. Sometimes it seems like a battle. And yet, both groups need a volume of performing loans to carry the day.

Today we'll look at how risk appetite, usually a purview of the Board of Directors and Management, impacts the loan originators as well. And how they can work together to help each other get everyone to the finish line.

Loan review is always an important risk management function. Some would say it becomes more important in turbulent times. I would say that good loan review practices even when we are on easy street, set the stage for successfully weathering the turbulence. Today we will focus on the loan review function, and how the pandemic might, or might not, impact it.

How are the regulators approaching examinations with 2020 in the rear-view mirror? Is it the same or different than past examinations? And how will it change as we start into a recovery? We cover why you need to:

• Create criteria for pandemic-related modifications and show they are followed

• Document current conditions and the basis for deciding the problem is short-term

• Show the regulators how the sausage is made in loan decision-making
