True Sale International: TSI Special Training: Intensive seminar Overview of Auto-ABS/ Term-ABS – up to now and after the new Securitisation Regulation

The German securitisation market has always been a showcase example of simple, transparent and standardised ABS transactions that have been very effective in performance and quality ever since their origins and through the financial crisis.

In the past ten years, our comprehensive and periodic ABS training events have contributed to creating a uniform understanding of quality among all parties involved – knowledge that will become even more important under the new securitisation rules.

Our two-day general training is a gateway into the world of securitisation that will give you excellent access to relevant themes from a legal, accounting, regulatory, economic and practical perspective, and from the viewpoint of credit processing

Training will focus on the following thematic focal areas:

Overview of a specific, current securitisation transaction
What matters in the credit process and what the STS regulation requires
Legal aspects – assignment, insolvency protection, tax matters and how STS comes into play
Overview of ECB approval
Regulatory framework under the new Securitisation Regulation
Accounting aspects
The work of rating agencies
Cash flow modelling and transaction evaluation
Investors’ perspective

The thematic focal areas will be explored on the basis of a current transaction.
