Course Overview

In a global economy fraught with volatility, uncertainty, and evolving regulatory landscapes, the ability to effectively manage corporate debt distress is not just a desirable skill but a business imperative. Financial instability caused by inflationary pressures, tightened monetary policy, and sector-specific disruptions has brought about a surge in corporate debt defaults and restructuring needs. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), nearly 15% of global corporate debt was classified as “at risk” in 2024, a figure that is even higher—estimated at 23%—within emerging and developing economies. Moreover, a 2023 World Bank study highlighted that insolvency proceedings have increased by 32% globally in the past three years, underscoring the urgent need for well-structured turnaround frameworks across industries.
Recognizing this critical business demand, Pideya Learning Academy proudly introduces the Corporate Debt Restructuring and Turnaround Strategies training program. This course is purpose-built to help professionals identify early signs of borrower distress, differentiate between short-term liquidity challenges and long-term insolvency risks, and craft comprehensive restructuring strategies tailored to diverse corporate environments.
Participants will gain actionable insights into a broad spectrum of restructuring techniques ranging from debt rescheduling and balance sheet adjustments to more advanced strategies such as debt-for-equity conversions, distressed asset acquisition planning, and multi-lender coordination frameworks. These concepts are reinforced through industry-specific case studies that simulate real-world challenges in sectors such as manufacturing, energy, retail, transportation, and hospitality. By examining both successful turnarounds and failed restructuring attempts, participants will develop a nuanced understanding of financial risk, operational viability, and legal constraints in corporate rehabilitation.
The course also explores how internal and external stakeholders—such as banks, legal advisors, and credit insurers—can collaborate effectively to preserve business value and mitigate creditor losses. Emphasis is placed on building sustainable turnaround plans rooted in accurate cash flow forecasting, regulatory alignment, and investor confidence. Attendees will also examine statutory frameworks relevant to debt restructuring, including corporate insolvency regimes and international standards for non-performing loan (NPL) treatment.
Participants in the Corporate Debt Restructuring and Turnaround Strategies program can expect several key takeaways seamlessly embedded in the training:
A detailed breakdown of borrower risk indicators and early warning signals, equipping professionals to intervene proactively
Techniques for distinguishing between liquidity stress and fundamental insolvency, ensuring targeted resolution plans
Analysis of various restructuring models including repayment extensions, interest waivers, and covenant resets
Frameworks for designing cash flow-based recovery plans that comply with statutory and regulatory mandates
Practical understanding of multi-lender restructuring negotiations, including inter-creditor agreements and decision-making thresholds
Strategic approaches to evaluating distressed asset purchase offers and loan sale proposals
Exposure to sector-specific restructuring case studies, reinforcing the application of learned strategies across industry verticals
Delivered by experienced facilitators and backed by a dynamic instructional model, this course from Pideya Learning Academy empowers participants with the confidence to lead financial recovery efforts that not only stabilize borrower operations but also safeguard lender interests. Whether you’re a credit officer, corporate banker, or a turnaround advisor, this training will help you master the tools and techniques necessary to navigate complex restructuring scenarios with competence and clarity.
