ask is to complete 1500 words Project Proposal and in my case it will be Westpac’s Institutional Banks deal origination to execution processes. This topic of focus is Westpac’s credit process chain which determines the speed to market for a new deal or opportunities. The purpose is to identify and research why the step from origination by the front, credit processing through to execution is too slow with the critical broke down in the credit process and on-boarding stage.
