The Federation of Credit and Financial Professionals
facilitate and monitor industry credit groups,which offer
the opportunity for credit professionals within the same
industry to convene and exchange knowledge and
procedures. These include:
Traditional groups, where trade group members meet
periodically for face-to-face meetings to review trade credit
data that is collected and delivered in a customized format on
mutual customers. Group data is collected and assimilated via
a proprietary online system and the meetings are directed by
Smyth Groups certified facilitators.
Discussion credit groups, which meet to review specific
topics, receive custom educational programs, and learn from
industry leaders
Virtual credit groups, where credit data is exchanged
without meetings through an Online Credit Interchange with
Trade Credit Reporting
In addition, the Federation of Credit and Financial
Professionals will introduce "Best Practices Groups" in
2007, which will:
- Identify areas, common to each organization, that need
review due to poor performance or ongoing challenges
- Examine problem areas and identify those companies
who produce excellent results
- Contribute to the development of a database of resources
needed by each member to implement a best practice
solution at their own company
