Sharing The Rating Report And Certificate

A – Receiving a formal request from the Client
The credit rating process begins when the issuer (who wants to get a credit rating) issues the formal request for credit rating to ICRA LLC along with the necessary documents such as Trade License/Certificate of Incorporation, audit financial of company, etc. . When ICRA accepts the request, an agreement is made between the issuer company and ICRA LLC, and the customer will pay the required fee to ICRA.

B – Assigning to credit risk team
In the second step, ICRA assigns the job and duties of credit rating to the Credit Risk team, who is responsible for rating projects/assignments and has expertise in the relevant business area.

C – Obtaining financial information
The credit Risk team will collect all the required information of the client relating to its financial statements and other relevant information from the given documents.

D – Research & financial statement analysis
In this step, the Credit Risk team researches the Client’s operations, validates KYC documents, reviews the credit repayment history per the given documents, and analyses financial statements and cash flow projections. The credit risk team may communicate with the Client to better understand the business model and future business prospects and may ask for additional documents and information whenever necessary.

E – Discussion meeting
When all the analysis has been done, the Credit Risk team will discuss the findings with the Board of Governors/Rating Committee, comprising the senior management of ICRA LLC. All the issues affecting the company are identified. An opinion on the rating is also formed, and the results of the team’s analysis are finally presented to the Board of Governors/Rating Committee.

F – Rating committee meeting
It is the final authority meeting for assigning ratings, and the work of the Credit Risk team ends. Now final authority will check facts, findings, and political, social, and other factors. After considering all the results, facts, and additional information, ICRA LLC will assign the actual ICRA Credit Rating.

G – Communication of decision
The assigned rating grade is communicated finally to the Client along with reasons or rationale supporting the credit rating. The credit ratings which are not accepted are either rejected or reviewed in light of additional facts provided by the Client.
