Understanding Key Ratios

Ratios can be challenging for those who work with them regularly but for those who work with them infrequently, they can be downright daunting.  It’s one thing to be able to calculate key ratios that affect your credit union’s daily operations, but it’s something completely different to be able to interpret them and to be able to articulate their meaning to others!

Tim Gardner is an expert at helping credit union professionals interpret the numbers to better understand your credit union’s profitability, productivity and efficiency.

Although there are dozens of valuable ratios, we will be showcasing just the 5 most common. 

In this one day course we will:

• Discuss general economic conditions that affect your credit union
• Look at the 5 most common ratios utilized in the industry including
  • Return on Assets (and it’s multiple components)
  • Net Worth to Total Assets
  • Loan to Share
  • Net Interest Margin
  • Efficiency Ratio
• Determine what makes up the ratios
• Why do they move upward or down and what does that mean in layman’s terms.
