Asset-liability management (ALM) consulting covers:

• Diagnostic review - Review of organisation’s ALM-related processes, including risk management structure, underlying policies and procedures, and risk measurement and reporting frameworks.

• Risk assessment & measurement - Assessing extent of liquidity risk, taking into account gap reports, liquidity coverage ratio, net stable funding ratio and funding portfolio mix.     

• Stress testing - Includes scenario analysis and sensitivity testing to assess impact of macro-economic and institution-specific stress scenarios on liquidity and interest rate.

• Risk control & monitoring - A limit management framework is designed, taking into account risk appetite and tolerance levels, as well as underlying and prospective portfolio mix.

• Risk-based decision-making - Mainly is in the form of funds-transfer-pricing-related consulting, including methodology. In addition, the plan for capital allocation, taking into account the liquidity and interest rate risk impact, is defined.

• Valuation of derivatives
• Valuation of other market instruments
• Treasury performance assessment and monitoring framework

Operational Risk Consulting develops value-at-risk (VaR) models for operational risk measurement. It entails:

• Loss data collection across Basel business lines and loss event categories
• Loss data modeling
• Conduct "goodness of fit" test to assess strength of distribution
• Conduct simulation analysis
• Estimate operational loss VaR
• Back-testing to assess operational loss of VaR as against actual loss
• Operational risk capital charge estimation
• Estimate unexpected loss
• Scale-up factor, based on results of RCSA and KRI
• Value-at-risk model validation process includes:
  • Assessment of internal and external data (including proxy data elements) used in the model to ensure completeness
    
  • Analysis of model assumptions
  • Analysis of mathematical calculation and underlying risk factors
  • Back-testing of existing data
  • Testing VaR model based on hypothetical portfolios
  • Validation of model vis-a-vis benchmark/industry standard
  • Assessment of reporting to senior management as regards
