The institute added that, as guardians of their organisation’s credit risk management framework, their vigilance, expertise, and proactive engagement in their roles are essential to ensuring the integrity of credit processes and protection of organization’s assets.

The registrar/chief executive officer(CEO) of the institute, Prof. Chris Onalo, said,  as Nigeria democratise the economy to reflect credit culture in other to empower various economic growth components for job creation, entrepreneurship and improved living standards of the people, the stakes in credit management governance are high, and the consequences of inaction or indifference are severe.

The Board Credit Committee members are expected to demonstrate unrelenting passion for upholding the highest standards of credit risk management in their oversight functions, he added.

Flowing from its observation of an alarming trend of poor Board Credit Committee performance which poses a significant threat to financial stability and organisational sustainability, NICA urges the board of directors’ of Credit granting business organisations to conduct thorough reviews of their Board Credit Committee performances with a view to identifying areas of improvement and implement corrective measures to ensure effective credit risk management and compliance with regulatory requirements.

In addition, clear, unambiguous credit policy standards and procedures are recommended to support a comprehensive credit management decision-making and efficiency, he stated.

To him, “board Credit Committee members can do well only if their terms of reference which outlined roles, responsibilities, and authority, are clear. Providing regular training and development opportunities for Board Credit Committee members to ensure they possess the necessary skills and knowledge must top the agenda.”

The Board, he charged, must ensure that its findings are accurately and timely communicated to the Board of Directors, highlighting the credit portfolio performances, risk assessment and exposure, making sure that credit approval and review processes are in compliance with the regulatory and industry requirements; collateral management, provisioning and write-off policies and processes, to mention but a few, totally aligned with the Board of Directors’ expectations.
