IFRS Forecasting

During the financial crisis, the delayed recognition of credit losses on loans (and other financial instruments) was identified as a weakness in existing accounting standards. Most major capital markets are now actively discussing or pursuing efforts of convergence towards single sets of globally accepted accounting and auditing standards. One direct financial consequence of the regulation for banks is lower operating margin and profitability, stemming from higher provisioning required, as well as impact on a bank’s capital, liquidity and leverage. Banks face pressure on net interest margins on a risk adjusted basis.

The practical challenges faced by Financial Institution in adopting IFRS:

  • Significant increase in credit risk
  • Observation period for modified accounts
  • Estimation of expected cash flows for undrawn portion
  • Effective maturity for Revolving Lines of Credit (deliberation in progress)

IFRS solution provides a framework for making the calculations needed to ensure compliance with the standard. The solution is designed to take data from a staging area that is common across all Analytical Applications installations and enable its reuse for analytical needs. The solution also provides for prebuilt rules and workflows for stage assessment. These rules are based on commonly based assessment criteria such as rating migration, days-past-due migration, industry classification and migration. Additionally, the solution allows users to configure additional rules based on their own models for stage assessment. A complete set of financial statements includes a statement of financial position, a statement of comprehensive income, a statement of cash flows, a statement of changes in equity, a summary of accounting policies, and explanatory notes.

Enterprise Asset Liability Management

ALM process mechanism help manage the mismatch between assets and liabilities held in a central environment. It is these mismatches, which imply the risks (Interest Rate, Liquidity & Currency/Translation) that need to be managed in a central environment. These risks are usually created by the individual business lines. ALM is the financial risk management area for any financial institution. This includes risk assessments in all the dimensions like structuring of the bank’s repricing and maturity schedules.

Asset Liability Management (ALM) helps financial services institutions measure and monitor interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and foreign currency risk. This solution measures and models every loan, deposit, investment, and portfolio individually, using both deterministic and stochastic methods. Oracle Financial Services ALM is a next-generation solution fully integrated with Oracle’s Financial Services Analytical Applications and shares a common account level relational data model.

ALM also provides the high-end analytics necessary to meet all your risk management goals, including value-at-risk (VaR), earnings-at-risk (EaR), market value, duration/convexity, income simulation, liquidity and interest rate gap. You control the levels at which results are aggregated, both in terms of the time frequency (modelling buckets) and the product categorization.

Enterprise Risk Management

Enterprise risk management solutions span all areas of risk, including credit, market, operational, liquidity, fixed asset, business and reputation risk, enabling institutions to manage all their risk and provide necessary feeds for compliance-based reporting. The capabilities of Oracle Financial Services for risk management help financial institutions address compliance issues such as Basel II that demand a close operational synergy between finance and risk functions.

Portfolios are defined based on a combination of one or more dimensions such as counterparty, line of business, legal entity, asset class and instrument type, that enable risk assessment at any required level of granularity in the organization. This provides institutions with a holistic view of risk on their trading book and enables them to regulate risk at the level of each dimension; thereby developing effective risk management strategies.

Financial institutions are now required to perform a battery of calculations, scenario analysis and stress tests. As part of OFSAA’s Basel III, banks can better manage their liquidity profiles whilst simultaneously report the liquidity regulatory ratios, LCR and NSFR, under a range of stress scenarios and assess the impact and take remedial action instantaneously.
