overview

Credit and counterparty exposure accounts for a significant portion of a bank’s risk, and are inherent in any bank’s credit portfolio. Therefore, the need to understand, analyze, evaluate and disseminate information is critical to effective credit risk management.
Surya’s Risk Analysis and Credit Evaluation (RACE) solution helps banks compute probability of default (PD), and map PD to a range of rates to arrive at credit ratings. Surya’s PD model is a non-parametric model based on study of 4,800 companies with 10, 5, 3, 2 and 1 years’ data. Statistical pattern recognition methods have been used to arrive at a purely quantitative PD. In addition, the quantitative PD can be modified using a qualitative model, specific to a bank.

RACE, besides being a PD provider, offers workflow for credit risk workflow management between proposal generators, credit risk officers and management.
