The Institute of Financial Services – Malta (ifs Malta) and Creditinfo are offering a course on how to develop and improve credit policy. Entitled “Developing an Effective Credit Control Unit”’ (while avoiding a trip to the Coronary Care Unit), the course is aimed at professionals and has been specifically designed to encapsulate the levels of risk involved in providing credit and to establish a better understanding of how this can be mitigated.

The objective of the course is to enable participants to understand the risks involved in extending credit terms, develop a strategy to mitigate credit risks, apply an assessment on financial statements to assess credit worthiness, understand the risks involved in international trade transactions and the role banks play and gain insight on personal skills used for collections.

This training programme is not only beneficial to the financial services sector but also to key personnel in businesses that are involved in negotiating credit terms, collection of debts, and risk assessment/credit scoring.

ifs members registered for the CPD can claim learning credits (Category 5) for attending this course. Members of the Malta Institute of Accountants attending all sessions will be accredited with 12 hours of structured CPE (including nine hours and three hours for the attainment of Professional Development and Core Competencies respectively).
