I liked that the simulation combined financial statement analysis, industry research, risk assessment, and professional communication. It help me remember a realistic understanding of a Credit Analyst’s responsibilities and helped me practise interpreting financial ratios, identifying key risks and opportunities, and presenting a clear credit recommendation to a senior colleague at my university

I really enjoyed how the simulation reflected real-world credit analyst responsibilities. It provided valuable experience in financial ratio analysis, industry research, and making credit recommendations based on both quantitative and qualitative information. The tasks were practical, engaging, and helped me better understand the credit assessment process used in the banking industry.
