✍️ Sample CCP Questions & Answers

1. A 'skip tracing' process in collections is used to:
✓ Locate debtors who have changed contact information without notification

Skip tracing uses data sources such as credit bureaus, public records, and social media to find updated contact information for debtors who have become unreachable.

2. What does a 'waterfall' structure in a syndicated credit facility determine?
✓ The priority order in which different tranches of lenders receive principal and interest payments or recoveries

A payment waterfall defines the sequence of distributions — senior secured lenders are paid first, followed by junior lenders, mezzanine, and equity in descending priority.

3. What is the importance of credit policy compliance?
✓ It ensures all credit decisions are fair and within regulatory standards.

Compliance with a credit policy is vital because it ensures that all credit-related decisions are made consistently, objectively, and in adherence to established internal guidelines and external legal and regulatory requirements. This protects both the organization from legal repercussions and financial losses, and customers from discriminatory or unfair practices, fostering trust and operational integrity.

4. Which document is MOST commonly used to communicate credit policy requirements to new customers during onboarding?
✓ A credit application

A credit application collects the financial and reference information needed to evaluate new customers under the terms of the credit policy.

5. Accounts receivable factoring transfers credit risk to the factor in which arrangement?
✓ Non-recourse factoring

In non-recourse factoring the factor absorbs the credit risk of buyer non-payment due to insolvency, whereas recourse factoring leaves that risk with the seller.

6. A company with a return on equity (ROE) of 22% and a return on assets (ROA) of 8% is most likely:
✓ Using significant financial leverage to amplify equity returns

When ROE substantially exceeds ROA, it indicates the company is using debt (financial leverage) to boost returns to equity holders beyond what assets alone generate.
