IRB & IFRS 9

CRD IRB for Retail Portfolios 

We provide support for the developmnent and implementation of the Internal Ratings Based Approach (IRB) which allows a Financial Institution to use its own estimates of risk for the calculation of Capital Requirements and therefore benefit from improved risk management practices.
StatDec's Approach is based on the close cooperation between the Consultant and the Client to ensure successful implementation. This is achieved by establishing clear reporting channels, regular client-consultant review meetings and a thorough verification process.
The services offered are compliant with the BCBS Framework, the European Credit Requirements Directive (CRD), the European Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), the Committee of European Banking Authorities (EBA) as well as the Acts and guidance documentation of local Supervisors were necessary.

IFRS 9

The changes introduced by IFRS 9 brings in a parallel course the two frameworks (Basel & IFRS) in expected loss estimation for retail portfolios. StatDec's long expertise in data analysis and modelling for Retail Portfolios provide Financial Institutions seeking compliance with the framework with a reliable partner.

Why StatDec?
