This is accomplished through completion of an annual review plan, which may include both periodic and continuous file review. The CRR team is responsible for ensuring accurate and timely risk ratings to assess the credit quality and identification or confirmation of problem credit risk exposures. The team is also accountable for providing an objective, independent and timely assessment of the overall quality of the loan portfolio. The team is responsible for evaluating the activities of lending personnel and management, including compliance with lending policies and the quality of their loan approval, monitoring, and risk assessment. Lastly, the team will perform continuous loan review and monitoring including interaction with Line of Business executives and Credit Risk Management to identify potential shifts in credit risk.
