Focus On

Case Study

Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP)

FOCUS ON: Case studies,

Belgian retail bank under the direct supervision of the European Central Bank (ECB). The Bank’s products and services are distributed on-line, through the network of offices in Belgium, and through brokers. The Bank requested Avantage Reply to enhance their Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP), not only complying with regulatory requirements but also going beyond them to meet supervisory expectations and align to best practices of the market. Therefore, from Avantage Reply we assist in the performance of the official document that will need to be submitted to the supervisory authority. This assignment is not only writing a document, but also looking into the market and new regulations published by the supervisory authorities, analyzing how other banks are facing the new challenges concerning liquidity and sharing our knowledge and experience of the financial industry.

CUSTOMERS GOALS

The main goal of the client is to enhance their Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP) following the supervisory expectations and best practices of the financial industry.

THE CHALLENGE

On top of the current situation due to the coronavirus crisis, the main challenges of the project are the lack of availability of the customer, as well as the access to information.

APPROACH AND SOLUTION

The solution is to manage efficiently the organization of the work by speaking with every department and guarantee that there is no miss information, between the departments, Group and subsidiary. Additionally, Avantage Reply is providing assistance in sharing knowledge of the regulation and best practices, to help them comply with the requirements.

Avantage Reply assisted a UK asset manager that provides services to both retail and institutional clients, in ensuring its operational risk framework and stress testing approach meet the regulatory requirements and are aligned with the industry best practice.

Case Study

Transition to direct supervision by the European Central Bank

The ECB banking supervision is based on the same rules as local supervision (single rulebook), public information on the differences between both is not commonly available. While there are differences, these are on a practical level and only known to experts with insights on both locally and directly supervised banks. Avantage Reply prepared a review of these differences and the gaps of the client to these the previous year. The client wanted to have an update on these recommendations based on the progress that was made during the year, also with regard to the updated timeline to ECB supervision. To address these topics, Avantage Reply organised workshops with its subject matter experts and the client and reviewed the relevant documents provided by the client.

Case Study
