Oct 15 : MFI Performance Evaluation and Metrics
Wharton Microfinance Independent Study Lesson 4A
In Lesson 4A, we elaborate on a model that ACCION adopted for internal microfinance assessment. The methodology, known as CAMEL, was “adopted by North American bank regulators to evaluate the financial and managerial soundness of U.S. commercial lending institutions.” This lesson covers necessary accounting adjustments, the 21 key indicators that define the CAMEL rating (rated 0 to 5, 5 being highest) and a short blurb on four other assessment tools, including MicroRate and WOCCU PEARLS.
