Commercial Banking Web Conference Hosted by Credit Training Specialist to Discuss Corporate Finance Fundamentals

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) May 5, 2008 -- In today's sophisticated commercial banking (http://www-omega-performance.com) environment, lenders who don't understand key corporate finance fundamentals could be overlooking potential risk factors or missing opportunities to expand business relationships. Corporate finance should be a major focus of credit training and development for any commercial banking institution's lenders and relationship managers who are charged with deepening relationships and building sources of fee-generating services.

On May 15, 2008, credit training specialist, Omega Performance, is hosting a live training and development web event entitled: "Corporate Finance: Viewing Investment Decisions through Your Customers' Eyes" beginning at 12:00 PM EDT. During the session, Dr. Jerry Crigger, senior consultant: credit and risk and Vicki Martell, vice president and product manager for credit & commercial sales products will share key corporate finance fundamentals for assessing commercial credit risk and building profitable client relationships. To register, visit http://www.omega-performance.com/assets/webinars/05-15-08.asp.

"Most commercial banking professionals are trained to assess risk relative to the extension of credit; not on factors related to the significant investment decisions made by their clients," according to Dr. Crigger. "Vicki and I will discuss key corporate finance (http://www.omega-performance.com/assets/products/understanding-corporate-finance.asp) fundamentals that will improve overall risk analysis including: three decision criteria utilized by corporate and commercial clients, how to analyze the weighted average cost of capital for a firm, various funding options available to firms, and the importance of identifying and qualifying corporate finance candidates for financial institutions."
