1.4.2. Lessons learned for Vietinbank Thang Long branch
First, focus on bad debt recognition. In any case, “prevention is better than cure”, so it is necessary to focus on bad debt recognition before bad debt occurs, or in other words, banks must build an early warning system for problem loans. To do this, banks must closely monitor borrowers, require regular reports, and control the cash flow of borrowers.
Second, the cause of bad debt is largely due to the quality of credit appraisal is not guaranteed, the risk management system is not responsive, the control is not strict, the credit rating is not appropriate for the customer. Therefore, banks are always vigilant against the limitations of these causes.
Third, improving the effectiveness of internal audit work; developing and effectively managing the banking staff, especially improving the capacity of credit assessment and appraisal and professional ethics of banking staff, is always an important factor to limit and manage bad debt well.
Fourth, bad debt needs to be transparent and comply with the standards for determining bad debt. Branches need to strictly comply with the standards for classifying bad debt, and are not transparent about bad debt. Therefore, bad debt must be recorded fully and promptly, must be classified accurately, thereby determining appropriate measures and purposes for managing and handling bad debt.
Fifth, strengthen inspection and supervision work: The system of bad debt inspection and supervision needs to be carried out regularly, deeply and widely for projects with large capital and very complex, operating environments with high application of information technology but equipping knowledge and technology for the inspection team.
