CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Risk Management is the
identification assessment and prioritization of risks. It is the effect of
uncertainty on objectives, whether positive or negative followed by coordinated
and economic of application of resources to monitor and control the probability
and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of
opportunities (Okeh, 2006).
The survival of every
commercial bank depends on its ability to manage its risks and loans or advance
portfolio effectively. However in the recent past, commercial banks in Nigeria
witnessed rising non-performing credit portfolios and these significantly
contributed to the financial distress in the banking sector.
Financial organization
need to manage the credit risk inherent in the entire portfolio as well as the
risk in individual credit or transaction. This is so because the survival and
ability of financial institution to compete depend on their ability to
profitability and manage credit risk. This is the reasons why lending is based
on the two fundamental products of banking: money and information. Banks obtain
these products from customers themselves by offering customer valuable
services. They package money and information about their borrowers together
with valuable banking services to create loan agreements and sell the loan
agreements back to their customers (Hempel and Simonson, 2007).
As such, risk rating
system in financial institution contains both objective and subjective
elements. Objective aspect are based on financial statements and application of
certain financial ratio that reflect liquidity, leverage and earnings. Despite
the requirement that risk be quantified, risk rating systems always have a
subjective dimension that attempts to capture intangibles such as the quality
of management, the borrower’s status within the industry, and the quality of
financial reporting. These subjective items may result in inconsistencies.
It is in this regard that
many financial institutions have faced difficulties over the years arising from
their inability to effectively manage credit risk. As such the major cause of
serious banking problems continues to be directly related to tax credit
standard for borrowers and counterparties, poor portfolio risk management, or
lack of attention lead to a deterioration in the credit standard of a bank’s counterparties.
Hence, the need to investigate the subject
matter of this research becomes imperative.
