Description
Preiss&Associates’ Credit Decision Monitoring™ and Credit Price Monitoring™ for Small Business help financial institutions scrutinize their small business loan portfolios for possible disparate treatment issues with respect to the credit granting decision process and the credit pricing decision process. Credit Decision Monitoring™ uses logistic regression, a specialized form of multiple regression analysis, to assist institutions in identifying possible differential treatment issues in the small business credit granting process employing the same procedures the federal regulators use when they perform their fair lending exams. Similarly, Credit Price Monitoring™ assists institutions in identifying possible credit pricing issues in their small business loan portfolios.
