Institutional Assessment

An institutional assessment represents a "due diligence light", which may be used for various purposes: first screening of potential investees, post investment monitoring, and analysis for follow up investment.

Without a comprehensive due diligence, an institutional assessment produces only a snapshot of a financial institution's actual operational performance.

BFC's institutional assessment focuses on:

  • ownership and governance
  • management and strategies
  • organizational structure
  • risk management
  • financial performance

The review is based on comprehensive desk research and a one day site visit, where we focus on clarifying key issues with a moderate level of analytical depth.
