risk data aggregation and risk reporting, Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision, Jan 2013
(http://www.bis.org/publ/bcbs239.pdf).
-
Risk
Reporting
Practices
- Risk management reports (RMR) should be
accurate, precisely conveyed, exactly
reflective of conditions, reconciled, and validated.
- RMRs should cover all material risk areas, and
scope and depth should be consistent with
operations, risk profile, and recipients' requirements.
- RMRs should communicate information in a clear and
concise manner, easy to understand, and sufficiently
extensive to enable decision-making. RMRs should
include a balance among risk data, analysis and
interpretation, and qualitative explanations. RMRs
should include information tailored to the recipients.
- The executive board and senior management (and
others as appropriate) should set the frequency of
production and distribution of the RMRs. Frequency
requirements should reflect the recipients' needs,
nature of risk reported, the speed at which the risk
can change, and importance of reports in contributing
to sound risk management and effective and efficient
decision-making.
- RMRs should be distributed to relevant parties while
ensuring essential confidentiality is maintained.
-
Supervisory
review, tools
and
cooperation
- Supervisors should periodically review and
evaluate compliance with Principles 1 through 12.
- Supervisors should have and use appropriate tools
and resources to require effective and timely action
to address deficiencies in "Risk Data Aggregation
Capabilities" and/or "Reporting Practices."
- Supervisors should coordinate with relevant peers
in other jurisdictions regarding supervision and
review of Principles and/or necessary remedial action.
-
Risk Data
Aggregation
Capabilities
- Enterprises should be able to precisely
generate reliable risk data, aggregated with
largely--if not entirely--automated processing.
- Enterprises should be able to capture and
aggregate material risk data across its groups,
and available by meaningful dimensions (e.g.,
business line, org., legal entity, asset type,
industry, region) relevant for the subject risk,
permitting identification of risk exposures,
concentrations, and emerging risks.
- Enterprises should be able to generate aggregate
risk data to meet a broad range of requests (e.g.,
on-demand, ad-hoc, due to changing internal
needs to meet supervisory queries)
-
Enterprises should be able to generate
current risk data quickly while also
meeting principles "Accuracy and
Integrity," "Availability and
Completeness," and "Adaptability."
-
Specific
timing
depends
on
- Risk nature
- Risk potential volatility
- Risk criticality to
the risk profile
- Organization-specific
reporting frequency
requirements
-
Overarching
governance and
infrastructure
- Enterprises should be subject to
strong arrangements following
the rest of the Principles.
- Enterprise should design, build and fully
support capabilities and reporting practices
under normal and stressful/crisis conditions
while meeting all the other Principles.
