Market Risk Consultancy

Gap Analysis

  • Diagnostic review of operational risk management practices as compared to industry best practices and regulatory guidelines

Policy & Procedure

  • Design and implement best-practices-based market risk management framework
  • Treasury process reviews and process reengineering
  • Preparation of market risk management and ALM policies

Model Validation

  • Validation of bank's internal models and other qualitative requirements

Measurement

  • Development of value-at-risk methodology

Asset Liability Management

  • ALM monitoring and reporting framework        
  • Liquidity and interest rate risk measurement and management framework
  • Framework for stress testing and funds transfer pricing

 

Asset-liability management (ALM) consulting covers:

 
  • Diagnostic review - Review of organisation’s ALM-related processes, including risk management structure, underlying policies and procedures, and risk measurement and reporting frameworks.
  • Risk assessment & measurement - Assessing extent of liquidity risk, taking into account gap reports, liquidity coverage ratio, net stable funding ratio and funding portfolio mix.     
  • Stress testing - Includes scenario analysis and sensitivity testing to assess impact of macro-economic and institution-specific stress scenarios on liquidity and interest rate.
  • Risk control & monitoring - A limit management framework is designed, taking into account risk appetite and tolerance levels, as well as underlying and prospective portfolio mix.
  • Risk-based decision-making - Mainly is in the form of funds-transfer-pricing-related consulting, including methodology. In addition, the plan for capital allocation, taking into account the liquidity and interest rate risk impact, is defined.

Valuation

  • Valuation of derivatives
  • Valuation of other market instruments
  • Treasury performance assessment and monitoring framework

MarketRisk Rating Value at Risk Model Development

  • Assessment of internal and external data (including proxy data elements) used in the model to ensure completeness
  • Analysis of model assumptions
  • Analysis of mathematical calculations and underlying risk factors
  • Back-testing of data (past one year) at varying confidence intervals and sub-portfolios
  • Conducting tests on VaR model, based on hypothetical portfolios
  • Validation of model vis-à-vis benchmark/industry standard models

 

 

Operational Risk Consultancy

Crisil Risk Solutions reviews, recommends and designs operational risk management frameworks.

 

 

Framework

Gap Analysis

  • Diagnostic review of operational risk management practices as compared to industry best practices and regulatory guidelines.

Policy & Procedure

  • Analysis of key business processes, development of workflow charts, identification/grading of possible operational risk areas
  • Assess and mitigate operational risk 
  • Design control processes to assist in risk mitigation/minimisation

Risk Control Self-Assessment (RCSA)

  • Design process-risk-control library to assist risk control self-assessment (RCSA)
  • Design framework and template for RCSA

Key Risk Indicators (KRI)

  • Design process flow and library for key risk indicators (KRI)

Loss Data Management (LDM)

  • Design framework to measure operational risk
  • Design processes to analyse operational loss databases
  • Design framework for loss data management

Model Validation

  • Validate bank's internal models, etc to ensure compliance with advanced measurement approach

Operational Risk Consulting develops value-at-risk (VaR) models for operational risk measurement. It entails:

  • Loss data collection across Basel business lines and loss event categories
  • Loss data modeling
  • Conduct "goodness of fit" test to assess strength of distribution
  • Conduct simulation analysis
  • Estimate operational loss VaR
  • Back-testing to assess operational loss of VaR as against actual loss
  • Operational risk capital charge estimation
  • Estimate unexpected loss
  • Scale-up factor, based on results of RCSA and KRI
  • Value-at-risk model validation process includes:
    • Assessment of internal and external data (including proxy data elements) used in the model to ensure completeness
    • Analysis of model assumptions
    • Analysis of mathematical calculation and underlying risk factors
    • Back-testing of existing data
    • Testing VaR model based on hypothetical portfolios
    • Validation of model vis-a-vis benchmark/industry standard
    • Assessment of reporting to senior management as regards
