We support our clients in all questions related to risk management.

Risk management process

That includes the evaluation of the existing risk management process and the identification of weaknesses and deficiencies.

We will accompany the refinement of your individual process steps like

Risk identification

Here the different risks get attached to variables for probability (of the occurring risk), the impact and control

We are specialised in Basel III und Solvency II topics. [references]

Basel III

The demands on the regulatory capital requirements will increase over the following years. The requirements demand special attention with regard to IT-Systems, organisation and the staff of a credit institution. Our employees have many years of experience in the implementation of regulatory requirements - among other things with reporting software like SAMBA und ABACUS/DaVinci.

We could support you for example in the following stages of a Basel III project:

Preliminary study

Gap analysis: determination of the areas in which you currently fall short of the best practise.

Planning

This contains the design of a project plan with milestones and the estimation of the necessary resources as well as the definition of sub-projects and a proper project structure.

Implementation

• • Segmentation
  • Definition of data requirements
  • Defining process flows

Solvency II

Not only banks face new regulatory capital requirements. Insurance companies will have to comply in the future with new regulations called “Solvency II„. These regulations are structured similar to Basel II. Based on our ample experience in the area of risk management and reporting we possess outstanding competence in all areas that are relevant to Solvency II.

We will support you in the following areas:

Preliminary Analysis

We analyse the requirements of your company with a questionnaire that covers the main features of Solvency II.

Workshops/Reviews

We offer you workshops and reviews to provide a further detailed specification to the results of the preliminary analysis. The result will be concrete suggestions to optimise your risk management. Naturally we will accompany you during the implementation-process of our suggestions.
