BOI Credit Officer · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The BOI Credit Officer credential is aimed at bankers, analysts and development-finance staff who assess, approve and monitor credit exposures.

The syllabus is weighted toward credit analysis and financial statement analysis, then credit risk assessment and rating, loan structuring and documentation, and monitoring with early-warning signals. Smaller blocks cover problem-loan recovery, the regulatory and legal framework for lending, treasury and funds management, accounting and taxation, and professional ethics and governance. The BOI Credit Officer case studies are 5 cases and about 2,218 words.
