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.
