At the heart of the Basel II requirements for international credit-risk management is the need to have sound data behind customer identification and risk assessment.  Information technology represents the greatest area of risk on an operational level for the successful implementation of Basel II compliance.  Data quality and audit-ability is the cornerstone of an end-to-end global compliance solution.

The four principal objectives behind Basel II are:

  1. To promote soundness and stability of the global banking and financial system
  2. To enhance competitive equality
  3. To provide a more competitive approach to addressing risks and promote best practices in risk management
    (the original Accord failed to address credit risk and operational risk)
  4. To provide a more widely applicable approach to the capital assessment process.

Basel II applies internationally to active banks in the G10 countries, including Canada and the United States as well as their subsidiaries in non-G10 countries. The EU has decided to adopt Basel II for all credit institutions and investment businesses operating in their jurisdiction.

Basel II challenges existing thinking as to where and how financial information and data is provided and controlled. The Basel II Accord introduces new levels of complexity with specific data and reporting requirements.

The Session will cover:
  • The Basel Capital Accord (1988)
  • Limitations of Basel ‘88
  • Structure of the new Accord:  Three pillars of the new Accord
  • Capital Adequacy in a Nutshell
  • Supervisory review process
    •
  • Market Discipline
  • Potential Problems
  • Risk vs Capital
  • Credit Risk
  • Operational Risk
  • Choices in Risk Calculation
  • Other Risk Measurements
  • Valuing Derivatives
  • Risk Management Questions
