About the role
A credit risk intern helps gather borrower information, check financial analysis and monitor signs that loans may not perform as expected. The panel is assessing your numerical care, scepticism, integrity and ability to separate evidence from assumptions.
How to prepare
- Revise the purpose of the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement.
- Learn how leverage, debt service capacity and working capital can affect repayment risk.
- Practise identifying missing information and inconsistencies in a simple loan case.
- Prepare an example of raising a concern even when doing so was uncomfortable.
- Write a short credit summary that separates facts, assumptions, risks and mitigants.
Common mistakes
- Treating collateral as proof that a borrower can generate repayment cash.
- Ignoring inconsistent information because the overall story sounds convincing.
- Recommending a decision without stating the key assumptions and remaining risks.
