Total Quality Loan Management

The quality of loan management is an important element in a profitable, soundly run financial institution. As a loan manager, it is critical for you to possess industry expertise to assist your chief executive officer and staff in planning. It is equally as important to maintain the technical expertise needed to design and administer systems and controls to carry out policies and required compliance with laws and regulations. S. Wayne Linder provides you with the strategic guidance you need to succeed in Total Quality Loan Management: Applying the Principles of TQM for Superior Lending Performance. By using the principles of total quality management (TQM), you will be better equipped to manage day-to-day operations in order to achieve your bank's performance goals. Management involves doing the right things, not just doing things right - meaning you need to make smart decisions and educated recommendations. To truly manage, you need the skills that will allow you to attain your institution's established objectives. Your areas of expertise need to span several fields, including information systems, monitoring, personnel management, and training. Total Quality Loan Management covers these areas in ten thorough, well-organized chapters: planning, organizational structure, directing, controlling, training, loan documentation, financial statement analysis, delinquency and problem-loan administration, loan review, leadership and management. Quality and effectiveness of management needs to be your top priority - it is essential to your bank's success. There is a direct relationship which exists between the overall condition of a bank and the quality of its management. By reading Total QualityLoan Management and implementing its strategies and tactics, you are making a commitment to continued growth and excellence in your management career - and to your institution as well.

Postal Savings and Fiscal Investment and Loan Program in Japan: The PSS

The book provides an overview of the Postal Savings System and the Fiscal Investment and Loan Program. These institutions are a major feature of Japanese finance, not extensively discussed outside of Japan. Together, they represent a wide-ranging system of government financial intermediation that is increasingly incompatible with Japan's early efforts to develop a modern financial system and help reverse the economic and financial decline that started in the early 1990s. The book is a mixture of policy, institutional, and quantitative analysis.

Secured Lending in Eastern Europe: Comparative Law of Secured Transactio

Based upon the work done to prepare and implement a Model Law drawn up for the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), this book provides a comparative account of the laws relating to secured lending in the 27 EBRD member states in Eastern Europe (including Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia and the Slovak Republic). Since many of the former Soviet-bloc countries have joined the EU, increasing amounts of money are being invested by western companies and financial institutions into Eastern Europe generally. Knowledge of the applicable laws relating to security is vital to such investment and lending.This is an explanatory and practical book. Throughout the book the theme will be what characteristics make a security law useful from a practical point of view. Hence, the purpose of the book is not merely to describe existing rules on security but to concentrate on how those rules can be made practical. The EBRD's Model Law on Secured Transactions and the EBRD's Core Principles for a Modern Security Law serve as basic reference points. In addition, the author introduces a comparative perspective in order to make the reader aware of significant differences between various national security laws. The main reference systems are English, German and US-American law. The principles of security law developed under western legal systems are contrasted with the principles of security law as they can now be described after 15 years of legal reforms in central and eastern European countries.
