Optimally, the credit review function can be used to provide useful continual feedback on the effectiveness of the credit process in order to identify any emerging problems. For example, the frequency of independent review of significant credits could be at least annually, upon renewal, or more frequently for ‘Special Mention’ loans, or when internal or external factors indicate a potential for deteriorating credit quality in a particular type of credit or pool of credits. A system of on-going or periodic portfolio reviews is particularly important for the provisioning process, which is dependent on the accurate and timely identification of problem credits.
