This European banking group had operations across Southern and Western Europe, mainly focussed on retail and commercial banking, but with a presence in regional markets, asset and wealth management and an insurance subsidiary. In the majority of its subsidiary operations, the Group made use of the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) for operational risk regulatory capital, with the Standardised Approach (TSA) used for the home country and consolidated group. The Group was required by its home regulator to undertake an ICAAP, essentially measuring a gross income-based capital figure against a risk-based capital figure.
This Western European bank had been collecting internal loss event data for more than 10 years, initially in a spreadsheet, then later in an internally developed database. In order to make better use of the loss data, both for general risk management and for risk modelling purposes, the data needed to be enriched with additional and more granular classification attributes; however prior to enriching the data, the entire dataset needed a thorough review to correct inappropriate classification, standardise the classification of similar events and to remove linguistic differences. The bank turned to RiskBusiness for assistance.
