The loan portfolio is typically the asset that presents the greatest potential risk for loss exposure to banks. The board of directors of each financial institution has the legal responsibility to formulate appropriate lending policies and to supervise ongoing implementation thereon. Although smaller institutions are not expected to maintain separate loan review departments, it is essential that an effective loan review system be in place at all regulated financial institutions.
