“ Mastering leading edge data aggregation and risk
reporting techniques that meet Basel Committee and
Financial Stability Board requirements and optimize
financial performance “
BCBS239- Designing an Integrated
Control and Reporting Framework
for Accounting and Risk Data
training
The requirement of BCBS 239 that has proven to be the most challenging for banks is
the need for controls over risk data to be as robust as those applicable to accounting data.
This includes reconciling risk data with banks’ sources, including accounting data, to ensure
its accuracy and creating single, authoritative sources for risk data. This course examines
practical approaches to implementing these requirements.

New York City, USA
The Course
Over several decades banks have invested in the development of tools and techniques aimed at identifying and
quantifying exposure to risk. These range from simple red/amber/green (‘RAG’) assessments to the application
of sophisticated stochastic models. In so doing they acquire and/or create vast quantities of risk data that are the
output of these disparate tools and techniques.
Your Expert Trainer
In January 2013 the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) issued its ‘Principles for Effective Risk Data
Aggregation and Risk Reporting’ also referred to as ‘BCBS 239’. This new mandate requires banks to implement
controls over risk data that are as robust as those applicable to accounting data. To ensure accuracy, risk data
should be reconciled with banks’ sources including accounting data. The aim is for banks to create single,
authoritative sources of risk data from which risk management reports can be produced that accurately and
precisely convey aggregated risk data and reflect risk in a manner that is accurate and comparable.

Key Benefits Include
• Limited spaces on a first come, first
accepted basis
• Pre-course questionnaire to establish
your individual and business concerns
• Comprehensive take-away course
materials including sample risk
quantification and reporting models
in Excel
• Two academic papers co-authored
by the course facilitators (and others);
“Global Identification Standards for
Counterparties and Other Financial
Market Participants” and “Risk
Accounting: An Accounting Based
Approach to Measuring Enterprise Risk
and Risk Appetite”
• Opportunity for post-course follow-up
and questions
This 2 day solution-oriented course introduces new and innovative techniques, contained in new risk software
designs that address the challenge of how to create single sources of aggregated and reconciled risk data from
the multiple and non-standard risk identification and quantification methods and models that banks typically
use in their day-to-day management of risk.
How Will You Benefit?
You can benefit by engaging with leading experts on risk management, data management
and accounting systems so that you can
• UNDERSTAND the causes of misalignments between banks’ risk management and accounting systems
that provided the backdrop to the financial crisis

Meeting the Challenges of Risk Data Aggregation
and Reporting
Programme
Day 1
Day 2
The Emerging Importance of Risk Data
• The financial crisis: its causes and lessons learned
• The shift in regulatory focus from risk models to risk data
• Reporting frameworks: accounting data vs. risk data
• Understanding risk data and its role in:
– Risk appetite setting and monitoring
– Risk pricing
– Transaction and portfolio management
– Enterprise risk management (ERM)
– Capital adequacy and regulatory capital requirements
– Systemic risk analysis
• Banks’ data management challenges and status
Adapting an Accounting Framework to Risk Data(Risk Accounting)
• Defining the primary reportable components for risk reporting:
–Organizational
– Risk type
– Products
–Customers
– Geography (location)
• Organizational components and their categorization within a risk
reporting framework:
– Transaction processing
– Risk management
– Reference data maintenance
– Business applications (IT) maintenance
– Administration and support functions
• The three pillars of organizational components and how their flawed interaction
creates exposure to risk:
– Manual processes
– Automated processes
–Data
• Establishing the benchmark for optimal operating environments
• Measuring deviations from the benchmark and the consequences
for risk reporting
• Creating a single source of risk data that is tied to the general ledger
Case Study and Exercise One
•The delegates identify their major issues and challenges for data
management. Feedback is discussed and analyzed and common themes
are identified
Accounting Data- Control & Reporting Frameworks
• The general ledger and sub-ledgers
• The financial reporting cycle
• Ensuring data accuracy: Proofs, reconciliations and substantiations
• Financial accounting vs. management accounting
• The values, codes and identifiers tagged onto transactions that drive aggregation
• The importance of transaction control totals in financial reporting
• Accounting standards and policies
• The role of auditing
• Overview of an example of legislation applied to financial reporting
(Sarbanes Oxley – USA)
BCBS 239 – An In-Depth Examination
• The objectives of BCBS 239
• The Basel Committee’s risk data aggregation expectations for 2016
• The 14 principles and the challenges they represent
• The status of implementation in banks
Case Study and Exercise Two
The delegates compare accounting control and reporting frameworks with
BCBS 239. A gap analysis is performed and delegates conclude whether
controls typically applied to accounting data and financial reporting can be
applied to risk data and risk reporting. What are the challenges that must be
overcome and the potential benefits.
Aligning Accounting & Risk Data
• The core requirements of effective risk data aggregation:
– Common identification standards
– Common unit of risk measurement
• Dealing with multiple, non-standardised risk quantification
and assessment methods
• The treatment of internal risks vs. external risks
• The limitations of monetary value as a unit of risk measurement
• The concept of risk accounting as an extension of management accounting
• Defining a common unit of risk measurement and reporting
• The core risk metrics: maximum potential loss and probability of loss
Designing and Implementing Standardized Risk Tables
• The Value Table
• Product Risk Tables
• Operations Activity Risk Tables
• Best Practice Scoring Templates
Case Study and Exercise Four
The delegates are presented with a Risk Accounting simulation of a complex
financial product. The outputs of the simulation are risk metrics by risk type
and a detailed product risk summary which are evaluated and critiqued.
Regulatory Reform and the Importance of High Quality Risk Data
• An overview of key papers recently issued by the BCBS and FSB aimed
at regulatory reform that require high quality risk data and effective risk
data aggregation:
– BCBS-Balancing Risk Sensitivity, Simplicity & Comparability
