Commercial Bankers - How do I write a credit review?

Hi WSO,

I have some interviews coming up for commercial banking analyst positions and was hoping that someone who currently works in commercial/corporate banking could provide me with a template for writing a credit review for a new or outstanding transaction (i.e. a term loan or revolver). It would be amazing if someone had a full credit review for me to look over but since I would imagine that those reports are typically private it would be useful if someone could provide me with all of the sections that are typically covered (i.e. business overview, geographic/business segment diversification, term sheet etc.) and some explanation of what should be included in each section. As well, any online resources or sample credit reviews would be helpful.

Thanks,

Mogel1
