ECPCGC Accountant Vacancy

TERMS OF REFERENCE (ToR)

REF. no:

(Consulting Services – Accountant)

Background

The Eastern Caribbean Partial Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECPCGC) was created to increase the amount of financing available to MSMEs in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU). The programme provides guarantees of up to 80% on loans made by private sector lenders to qualifying micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). ECPCGC became operational in 2020 and its staff is working with banks in the six nations that comprise the ECCU. In general, both banks and MSMEs are unfamiliar with guarantee schemes and the credit enhancement that they can provide. The process is that the entrepreneurs approach the financial institutions for loans, armed with their financial documents, projections, business history, and a clear idea of the purpose of the loan. The institutions would review the documents, adjudicate the loan, and if approved, send an application to ECPCGC for a guarantee to make up for the collateral deficit. In the absence of proper records, the financial institutions are unable to complete their assessments.

The Current Issue

The banks have cited the following issues that are prevalent among the customers:

A high level of informality among the businesses
Incomplete financial records
Unrealistic business projections

Consequently, the institutions have requested that the clients get their files organized so that proper assessments may be made of the businesses and the need for financing. Many clients are cash constrained and are unable to afford the fees for an accountant to prepare the requisite statements. They, therefore, do not return to the banks with the documentation and so lose out on the opportunity to participate in the guarantee programme.

As the economies rebound from COVID 19, it is expected that the demand for guarantees will pick up, and there may be many more under prepared clients trying to access the guarantees. ECPCGC will send referrals to the accountant so that the required reports can be prepared for submission to the financial institutions.

The Purpose of the Assignment

ECPCGC is looking to obtain the services of an experienced accountant who has worked with MSMEs nationally and has experience in creating financial reports and projections from incomplete records.

The consultant would have the following responsibilities:

Facilitate meetings with the clients for whom referrals are made
Retrieve records from the client – invoices, receipts, bank statements, and other records, depending on the type of business that the client owns
Use the records provided and other information obtained from the client, to compile financial records that would provide a clear indication of the financial standing of the business
Provide business projections, supported by the statements that were compiled above

Fees will be paid on a “per client” basis.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 10-15 years of accounting experience and would have substantial prior engagement with MSMEs.

Term of the Engagement

The engagement will last between 6 and 12 months beginning in June 2022.

Expression of Interest:

Interested applicants whose qualifications and experience are in line with the Terms of Reference are invited to submit their CV, a letter of application stating suitability for the position, two professional references on or before May 24, 2022 at 11:59 Atlantic Standard Time (AST) to [email protected] with the job reference number KN-ECPCGC-293793-CS-IDV in the subject line of the email.

ECPCGC Vacancy Marketing / Technical Assistant Expert

Terms of Reference for Marketing/Technical Assistance Expert for the Eastern Caribbean Partial Credit Guarantee Corporation

May 2022

Background

The Eastern Caribbean Partial Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECPCGC) was created to increase the amount of financing available to SMEs in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU). The scheme provides guarantees of up to 75% on loans made by private sector lenders to qualifying small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The scheme recently became operational and is working with banks in the six nations that comprise the ECCU. In general, both banks and SMEs are unfamiliar with guarantee schemes and the credit enhancement that they can provide.

The Current Issue

The ECPCGC was designed with a staff of four to five people to handle marketing, processing guarantee applications, and monitoring lender performance. During the initial operational phase, the need for training and implementation of the web portal has stressed the ability of the staff to keep up with day-to-day activities as well as handle the training. While the current staff has provided training on the web portal and terms and conditions of the guarantee scheme, it is likely that loan officers will have questions regarding both the terms and conditions of the scheme and web portal operations when they use the program for the first time.

The Covid virus has slowed business on the islands, including the requests for bank lending. When lending picks up, it is likely that loan officers will have questions regarding program operations and using the web portal. In addition, one of the concerns banks raise repeatedly is that many applications are not complete when submitted, requiring substantial additional time to get all of the information in a format that can be used for a credit application.

The Purpose of the Assignment

The ECPCGC is looking for an experienced bank or non-bank loan officer who has worked with SMEs in the Caribbean region and has experience in the Sales and Marketing of financial products. The consultant would have five main responsibilities.

The first will be marketing the scheme to staff at the Participating Lenders, including line or branch loan officers. The idea is to convince the loan officers to consider the guarantee before declining any loan applications.
The second will be to develop training in pipeline building and sales for the Loan Sales Officers.
The third responsibility will be answering questions from officers at Participating Lenders regarding the guarantee scheme. The consultant would be required to become familiar with the electronic portal that is being used to accept applications from the Participating Lenders. While a significant amount of time has been invested in the current training regimen on the portal, experience has shown that there will be questions from loan officers when they have a case in front of them that may qualify for a guarantee.
The fourth facet of the engagement will be working with loan officers at Participating Lenders to get their SME loan application packages ready for submission to the ECPCGC. This includes suggestions on structuring the transaction and may include determining that the applicant is not creditworthy.
The fifth responsibility will be to meet with selected lenders that are not currently participating in the scheme. These meetings will be via video conference and in person. The purpose will be to assess the SME lending capability of a lender. This may involve reviewing policies and procedures, learning about their target market, and discussing credit analysis with them. Selected lenders may include banks and credit unions.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 10-15 years of SME lending experience in the Caribbean region, preferably in the countries of the ECCU.

Experience with marketing, sales, and/or working with a guaranteed lending scheme would be beneficial.

Term of the Engagement

The engagement will last between 6 and 12 months beginning in June 2022.

Expression of Interest:

Interested applicants whose qualifications and experience are in line with the Terms of Reference are invited to submit their CV, a letter of application stating suitability for the position, two professional references, and a current Police Certificate of Good Character on or before May 20, 2022 at 11:59 Atlantic Standard Time (AST) to [email protected] with the job reference number KN-ECPCGC-292033-CS-INDV in the subject line of the email.

The GOAB recently established an Economic Recovery Commission (ERC) in the wake of the pandemic. It comprises public-private stakeholders, who advise the Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda on the long-term economic recovery of Antigua and Barbuda, including avenues to stimulate development and create jobs. The support of the NDC Partnership and its implementing partners will complement the work of the ERC.

Funding from the NDC Partnership will go towards the operationalization of a Project Management Unit (PMU) for the Ministry of Finance and Corporate Governance that will help the country to design and implement low-
