Credit Risk Management Objectives and key requirements of this Prudential Standard This Prudential Standard requires an authorised deposit-taking institution to implement a credit risk management framework that is appropriate to its size, business mix and complexity. The key requirements of this Prudential Standard are that an authorised deposit-taking institution must maintain: * an appropriate credit risk appetite statement and credit risk management strategy that reflects its credit risk appetite and credit risk profile; * prudent policies and processes to identify, measure, monitor, report and control or mitigate credit risk over the full credit life-cycle; * sound credit assessment and approval criteria, including for the comprehensive assessment of a borrower's repayment capacity; * an appropriate system for the ongoing administration of its credit portfolio; * prudent policies and processes for the early identification and management of problem exposures, including non-performing and restructured exposures and other transactions; and * appropriate credit risk practices, including an effective system of internal control, to consistently determine adequate provisions in accordance with the authorised deposit-taking institution's stated policies and processes and Australian Accounting Standards.
