BASEL II

 

Basel II Accord is under the auspices of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in Basel, Switzerland.

It is aimed at producing uniformity in the way banks and banking regulators approach risk management across national borders.


Basel II impacts almost all banks and financial institutions that provide banking services to individual and corporate clients around the world.

   



The essence of Basel II applies within a three pillars' concept:


1.      Minimum capital requirements
2.      Supervisory risk review requirements
3.      Market discipline requirements


Business conduct transperancy, change controls, integrity, clarity, and dynamic risk and record management are few examples of the Accord' essence and key requirements.

It also covers more sophisticated measures of credit risk include EL (Expected Loss) whose components are PD (Probability of Default), LGD (Loss Given Default), and EAD (Exposure At Default).

Basel II covers, among other things, significant overlaps with SOX.


Based on our work for blue chip companies, we developed a proven unique technicque and templates to map multi-compliance overlaps between Basel II, MiFID, Solvency II, SOX, IFRS etc. to common references, thus saving 6-figure sums to our clients.
