As to the techniques chosen for this research, textual analysis is employed and a comparison method is also adopted. It is believed that these methods are suitable for the research because through analyzing the relative bank performance reports, access to all the available information needed in the research can be gained and assessment can be made, which provides both a separate evaluation and generalization on the sample banks’ credit risk management practices. Those outcomes will be the findings about the second research question and the basis of the rest of questions. While comparisons, as already implied in the research questions, are obviously necessary means for answering the last three research questions, from which the possible …show more content…
Those listed retail banks dominate the sterling-denominated banking business and are the focuses of this research and will all be included in the quantitative research part. While by reading through the relative information about their credit risk management approaches, it is found that some of the banks don’t differ much in the practices and can present a whole picture on the standard practices, which indicates the possibility and reasonableness of conducting the qualitative research only on part of the MBBG members. Regarding this, two groups of samples are chosen for the qualitative research. By using average total assets of the nine banks as the grouping criteria, RBS and Barclays, which have higher than average total assets, have been put into Group One (larger banks) while Bradford & Bingley and Northern Rock with lower than average total assets are selected as Group Two (smaller banks).1 Judging from the amount of their total assets, it is confirmed that the two groups have presented a relatively large gap in size. Besides, one issue that is worth noticing is that among MBBG members, four were mutual building societies which converted to banks, including Abbey National (converted in 1989),
The banking industry is highly competitive. The financial services industry has been around for hundreds of years. Wells Fargo has many competitors itself.

Financial statements for banks have uniquely different analytical problem than statements for manufacturing, service and most companies in general.

Since the onset of the financial crisis 2008, the sovereign debt crisis in western economies and the new financial regulation with Basel III coming up, the financial industry faces the challenge of reinventing itself. The ring-fence for Commercial and Investment Banking, and new economic and regulatory capital requirements will determine the kinds of products banks will be able to distribute. It will have a huge impact in the Investment Banking business, which will suffer tough regulation and supervisory procedures. At the same time, credit risk models will be reviewed because they have failed to predict the crisis of 2008. The current financial and economic crisis doesn’t have any precedent in the past.

Table 4 summarises descriptive statistics of RATE, the un-weighted (weighted) risk disclosure index (RDI) as well as SSB for all bank fiscal years, as well as for each of the eight firm years investigated, separately from 2006 to 2013. Table 4 shows a number of remarkable outcomes. First, it reports that there is a high amount of variation in ratings between banks. For instance, RATE ranges from a minimum of 1 (Default) to a maximum of 19 (AA- which mean very high credit quality) with the median RATE 14.12 (Good credit quality) that indicate most banks in MENA have good rating, but there has been a continuous decreases in ratings during 2008 and years after which reflects the impact of continues crises beginning with GFC in 2007 and credit crunch in 2010. For instance, the average banks ratings is 14.4, 14.29, 14.09, 13.77, 13.69 and 13.84 in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, but RATE begin to increases in 2013 which indicates recovery in MENA banks from GFC crisis effects. Finally, there is evidence that the level of listed bank RATE before GFC is higher than during and after GFC.
It is inherently difficult to predict the timing and intensity of a systemic banking crisis. Therefore, informs our strictly ordinal definition of credit quality. It is not the absolute (cardinal) level of default risk that matters, but rather the rank-order of default risk among all banks. In order to reduce the cost of processing bank accounting information, banks’ public reporting requirements should be vastly enhanced to facilitate cheaper and better credit analysis. In most countries, bank regulators protect their privileged data access, and do not share crucial bank data publicly (or even with other bank regulators) in a narrow pursuit of their own agency power and to shield themselves from accountability. Future bank regulation therefore needs to create an entirely new information environment for external credit analysis. Better public information and more bank reporting is the best strategy to reduce the exorbitant influence of credit rating agencies in the current system.
The financial proportions are readied on the premise of recorded financial proclamations and they are helpful markers of a company 's present financial execution and current financial circumstance. These financial proportions can be utilised to dissect current patterns and to contrast the association 's financial position with those of others. The effect of financial proportions on the financial execution of Bahraini business and Islamic banks. The financial execution of banks was emphatically and absolutely affected by their operational proficiency, resource administration and their size. Notwithstanding, proportions themselves can 't demonstrate the span of the banks, which implies that banks must be measured by their general financial execution.
