  • Studies to analyse and rationalise the link between the outcomes of the two ICAAP methodology approaches (normative and economic).

To meet the client’s expectations, Avantage Reply has deployed an experienced team with strong expertise composed of a senior manager and two consultants. The approach has consisted of providing elements of best practices of other large GSIB, conducting quantitates studies, steering several workshops with key Risk and Finance stakeholders and project governance.

The Avantage Reply team used the outcomes of the different exchanges to capture the visions of senior stakeholders and to produce and propose appropriate solutions to meet the needs of both the client and the regulator.

The key deliverables were:

  • Capital policy, ICAAP governance policy and operational charters;
  • Committees governance presentation;
  • Note describing the linkage between the Business Model Analysis and the risks to capital completed by an excel template used to manage the risk inventory for the ICAAP, plus a detailed mapping of them to the group's strategic processes.
