Managing the tension between business growth and credit risk as covered by Credit Manager Magazine

The May issue of Credit Manager magazine features a Bureau van Dijk article titled “Managing the tension between business growth and credit risk”. Credit Manager is published by the The Polish Institute of Credit Management (PICM), a platform for corporate credit risk management professionals. It's a Polish-language magazine, but the article is in English.

Our article covers the importance of best practices in know your customer (KYC) and regulatory compliance. It explores how a holistic internal approach to credit risk and company information can help create balance between risk and growth.

Challenges for credit managers

Emerging markets have great potential for business growth but there can be limitations to credit risk processes. These include: 

• a lack of available company data
• knowing where to source data from
• being aware of international and unilateral sanctions
