ANALYSIS OF KEY ASPECTS AND FEATURES OF BANKING RISK MANAGEMENT WHYLE CREDITING OF ENTERPISES

 

 

Under current conditionsthere is an increase and expansion, and also structuring of banks clients probablycan increase risk component in their activity. The subject of risk management becomes more and more essential.

Risk management based on the concept of acceptable risk and possibility of impact on an initial risk level for the purpose of finishing this level to acceptable value. At the heart of methodology of the concept of acceptable risk is differentiation of risk levels at various stages of manifestations:

Yнis initial level of risk whichisunidentified andunvalued, butvery high due to the unavailability of the organization's managers, decision-makers to the emergence of risk situations;

Ycismeasuredlevelofrisktaking into account actions for identification, the analysis and a risk assessment. The value Yc represents a real assessment of a risk level which is the risk of lower level than Yн;

Yоis residual risk leveltaking into account the developed and executed actions for decrease in an initial risk level;

 Yкis final (acceptable) risk level of risk that is acceptable in terms of risk criteria.

The mathematical model can be presented the concept of acceptable risk in the form of the following dependences:

.

The received assessment of an acceptable risk level can significantly change opinion concerning "riskiness".

Management strategy is development of the directions and ways for achievement of the goal based on long-term forecasting and strategic planning. A certain set of rules and restrictions for decision-making is developed. Asiswellknownthestrategyis predeterminetactics [1].

The problem of tactics of management consists in a choice from all decisions which are not contradicting strategy, the most optimum decision and the methods most acceptable in this situation and methods of management.Effectiveness of risk management depends largely on the ability to use fully all the methods and techniques to reduce risks.

Taking into consideration the risk level can significantly change during the certain period of time under the influence of internal and external factors, the bank develops the management system (MS) of risks for ensuring the maximum safety of own means, minimization negative influence of external and internal factors, increase the liability to customers, counterparties and investors.

Banking risks represent a set of risks, the amount of which increases as the complexity of banking products, used computer systems and data storage [2].

Ensuring stability of functioning of commercial banks causes the necessity of development of strategy of development by them and mechanisms of its realization. Strategy of management is realized in the course of adoption of administrative decisions, ways of achievement of goals, and also in the general direction of using means [3, 4]. Consecutive achievement of the purpose – the maximum profit at preservation of an acceptable risk level – assumes continuous search of new opportunities of further growth, increase of profitability and more effective planning and control.

In management sense the concept "strategy" is directly connected with definition of such characteristics as terms of implementation of this or that complex of actions, various indicators (liquidity, profitability, etc.) and necessary to be guided in implementation of the specified actions. The conceptual component of strategy of bank is much more difficult formalized concept and generally it represents a complex of the purposes formulated in general which achievement the bank considers the task.

Currently very limited number of banks develops the strategy with obligatory presence of a conceptual component. The majority of banks focused first of all by achievement of short-term objectives [5]. In this case efficiency and stability of development sharply decreases. Traditionally strategic risk management is realized by the special management system (MS) covering levels of strategic management and organizational divisions. The system approach becomes objective necessity considering impossibility of consideration of separate elements, the phenomena or problems without the subsequent interactions with other elements. Definition of optimum strategy of behavior of bank is connected with a problem of the correct assessment of risk.

Effectiveness of bank risk management system (RMS) is evaluated according to the criteria: Income (loss) from operations risk, quantitative risk indicators, quality adaptation subsystem, and the feasibility of using regulatory mechanisms of risk accepted by the bank.

The development of strategy of risk management has a number of consecutive stages. First of all the factors influencing a concrete type of risk at implementation of certain bank operations identified. Factors are analyzed from the point of view of force of risk impact. At the following stage defined an assessment of zones of a concrete type of risk. Assumptions are made concerning possible sources of losses and the risk situations yielding losses and predicting thelevel of future losses. The central problem of this stage is quantitative measurement of risk.

Usually the measurement of risk is carried out in two main directions. Firstly, determine the probability distribution of the causal event, or at least some quantitative indicators of the distribution (mathematical expectation, confidence interval, etc.). Secondly, reveal dependence of size of a negative event on the size of a causal event. Indicators such dependence are the elasticity coefficient determination, correlationand etc. First direction indicators are called probabilistic, the second - scaled. Two areas are complement each other, and on their basis it is possible to receive complex estimates of risk which is popular recent appraisal VaR (Value-at-Risk) [ 5].

Research of uncertainty and risk can be carried out on the basis of alternative options – scenarios according to which succession of events is possible. Each scenariois quantitatively measured (quantified) that is necessary for an assessment and risk management. Thus it is necessary to consider that there are the reasons limiting possibilities of implementation of reliable and full calculations. Control of risks assumes coordination of actions of all divisions and bank services on situation tracking during the whole period of existence of risk, and also monitoring (tracking only key types of risk) and risk restriction through system of limits (a maximum permissible risk level). The combination of strategic objectives and operational tasks, strategic and routine planning allow commercial banks to minimize risk.

In the Russia a leading place on the emergence frequency (about 60%) and volume of losses (more than 80%) occupied by risks of liquidity and credit risks.

Credit risk refers to the risk that a borrower will default on any type of debt by failing to make required payments and can be considered as the largest, inherent in bank activity [6, 7]. And such types of risks belong to credit risks as [8]: risk of a default of the credit, risk of delay of payments (liquidity), risk of providing credit; risk of solvency of the borrower.

The accounting of credit and liquidity risks is an obligatory information basis of decision-making process in the development of practical measures for safety of specific banking operations and transactions [9]. It determines substantially an originality of methodology of management by credit risks. Bank, before granting credit,should define the overall risk for each borrower.

Credit risk management can be defined as organized influence of the subject of management (bank officers who are carrying out activity on crediting of borrowers and the leading personnel) to object of management (credit risk and activity of the employees involved into the credit operations) for the purpose of maintenance at admissible level of credit risk indicators of bank [10]. The special relation to credit risk is explained by that the credits are one of main types of bank assets and at competent management of credit operations bring in to bank the considerable income [11]. Credit risk management is an essential part of the strategy and tactics of survival and development of any commercial bank.

Effective identification of risk factors, the analysis and calculation, monitoring of the current open positions is impossible without using formal systems of decision-making support. The credit risk depends on external and internal factors. Possibilities of external factors management are limited although the bank can mitigate their impact and prevent major losses. Nevertheless the main control levers of credit risk are in the sphere of domestic policy of bank. Eventually, ability to operate risk depends on competence of the bank management and a skill level of its ordinary structure. Efficiency of optimization of banking risks can be reached only on the assumption of system approach when all aspects of bankactivity become as object of analysis, all carried out operations considered in interrelation and interdependence [12].

Recently on all segments of national economy distribute the implementation of the risk management system which means [13]:  risk management is a purposeful search and organization of work for decrease riskdegree, art of receiving and increasing income in an uncertainty situation.In this situation special relevance is gained by the researches directed on development of approaches and methods, reducing liquidity and credit risks in banking activity taking into account their multifactorial nature and scale.

The hierarchy of credit risk types has three-level structure. In the bottom (basic) level the credit risk is presented by the transaction risk, which connected with variability of solvency of borrowers. This risk expressed in variability of a cash flow of the enterprises. Risks located in the following level connected with "behavior" of big groups of the credits, united in the “united big credit", called portfolio. Such metacredit is characterized by the parameters, allowing estimating portfolio risk. The third level is presented by allocation credit risk which caused by distribution of bank assets on branches, regionsand bank products.

The basis of transaction credit risk management systemis score which is fast, exact, objective and steady procedure of an assessment of the credit risk [14]. There are many scoring models for the solution of the same problem. Each of them has individual algorithm, uses the set of the factors characterizing risk, connected with thecrediting of borrower, and as a result receives a threshold assessment which allows dividing borrowers on "bad" and "good".Score is the automatic or automated procedure classifying borrowers required quantity of classes. In the simple case there are two classes: first- borrowers who can grant the credit, second - whom it "is strictly contraindicated". Using score the bank has an opportunity of decrease the quantity of "bad" credits by filtration of client credit applications.

The most known isa model by Edward I. Altman [14] for an assessment of the large companies solvency. The uniting moment for all three types of models is equality:

,

where Zisascoreassessmentvalue;ak — the weight coefficients characterizing the importance of risk factors;Xk — the risk factors defining solvency of the borrower.

Such (or similar) formula is "kernel" of any score system.

In the Edward I. Altmanmodel itis:

 

where coefficients of model are the scales defining the importance of risk factors; A, B, Csymbols are risk factors. For exampleАis relation of working capital to total assets; В is relation of retained earnings to total assets; С is   profit relation before payment of percent and taxes to total assets; D is relation of market funds to the overall balance cost of debts; Е – relation of volume of realization to total assets.This model of scoreunited the general characteristic - multidimensionality. Finally the model of score "search", using statistics of earlier processed credits.

The analysis of various approaches to formation of models of statistical scoreconclude that using above mentioned model becomes the most powerful risk factor of credit assessment which in  risk management called  model risk. The set of the variables forming an assessment of score, can eventually change and «border" between analyzed groups can be not linear, have significantly more difficult form which will not be able to be described by the formula of elementary model by Edward I. Altman. Practical offers for expansion of logical model of score are presented in paper [14].

Considering three levels of credit riskshierarchy, for management two more complexes of models are necessary. The first is forportfolio credit riskmanagement, and the second for support of administrative decisions regarding an allocation of credit capital and productsof bank. Besides, even in the transactional level it is insufficiently to classify borrowers on "good" and "bad". It is necessary a number of functions without which the application of the score will not give satisfactory results.

Modern risk management system is based on a powerful information-analytical system.Integrated IT risk management system should solve problems all types of financial risks management.

Implementation of IT risk management system will allow the bank: minimize losses; improve the efficiency and profitability of operations; increase the volume and reduce the cost of financing business; improve the stability and attractiveness to investors; improve position in the market; make reasonable decisions about reservation and allocation of capital; cover costs of risk management as soon as possible.

Conclusion:

Successful functioning of the credit organization in the conditions of risk is possiblewith developmentof special decision-making mechanism, allowing to determine the value of potential losseswhich the credit organization is able to accept, and also estimate, how expected profitability justified risk. This problem is solved by creation of the automated by risk management system, allowing to reveal, localize, measure and control particular risk and minimize impact.
