Case Study

Internal Stress Tests : Governance framework and P&L modeling

FOCUS ON: Case studies,

The client conducts yearly global internal stress tests as part of the management of its activity and contributes to Group-level exercises. The financial management department oversees the entire exercise and is responsible for the modelling and simulation of certain components of the income statement. The client was looking to use an external firm to accompany it in the coordination work of this campaign as well as to take charge of the production of the stressed trajectories of the P&L. In coordination with its holding, the institution was looking to carry out this campaign with the following main objectives:

  • To present an internal stress test better integrated into the budget
  • To be able to present models to the regulator in accordance with the macro-economic scenarios defined globally for the bank, on the indicators constituting the P&L

APPROACH AND SOLUTION

It was in this context that Avantage Reply was requested to provide subject matter expert support to ensure the proper preparation and implementation of the various P&L stress tests models and to prepare the framework and implementation of the global governance of stress tests. These different streams included the following works:

  • Provide expert support on all modelling aspects of stress tests (Net trading income, fees and commission)
  • Independent overview of the scenario and their calibration (nature and number, severity, plausibility…)
  • Ensuring autonomy to conduct the various work and iterations with the various key contributors to the ST process
  • Creation of working groups and proposal of solutions to solve the problems involved in stress
  • Provision of the audit trail of the elements integrated in the stressed trajectories of the P&L
  • Implementing a framework and governance for internal stress tests
  • organisation of project (weekly) and steering committees (monthly), including preparation of materials and reports
  • Ensuring review and construction of methodological documentation
  • Consolidated impact summary table for presentation to Management Committee

RESULTS AND BENEFITS

At the end of the intervention, the overall process could be carried out, without too many major difficulties, while ensuring the identification of areas for improvement in terms of methodologies or processes. In addition, Avantage Reply has delivered a global package on P&L component models and simulations and a gap analysis on the current governance framework.

Case Study

Counterparty Credit Risk (Pillar 1 and 2)

The client, a major banking group specialised in the provision of online banking and trading services, was in the process of launching new derivative products for its retail clients and required assistance for the counterparty credit risk calculations and regulatory reporting of these products.

Case Study

Standardised Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk

The client, a major banking group specialised in the provision of online banking and trading services, was in the process of launching new derivative products for its retail clients and required assistance with calculating the capital requirements for counterparty credit risk under the new standardised approach. This project was a continuation of similar work which Avantage Reply performed prior for this client, regarding the mark-to-market approach.

Case Study

Development and implementation of the IRB-models

Avantage Reply supported a large bank in Luxembourg with a complete transformation of the internal credit risk model portfolio. In doing so, our team was involved in several steps of the model lifecycle: model development, model backtesting, model validation by the second line of defense, model review by the ECB and implementation of the model in the bank’s IT system.
