BancWare ERisk ABACUS

Basel II and SR 99-18

While mandatory for only the largest financial institutions, the Basel II Capital Accord has many organizations rethinking their processes and solutions to credit and capital management. Firms focused on competing effectively, are already incorporating the Basel II requirements into their credit and capital management practices as a way to drive improved growth and profitability.

Similarly, large banking organizations and banks with complex risk profiles in the U.S. are facing increased pressure to comply with SR 99-18, which calls for the implementation of a capital adequacy framework integrated with comprehensive internal risk models.

Whether you choose to opt-in or you must comply with either regulation, BancWare ERisk has the right solutions to help your organization. In fact, BancWare ERisk has successfully delivered risk and capital management solutions to over 70 regulated financial institutions since our inception in 1999 and our Abacus solution is proven to meet the tough demands of the regulators in areas such as SR 99-18 and Basel II.

Specifically, BancWare ERisk Abacus helps your organization to meet these requirements by:

• Identifying and measuring all material risks, across all risk types
• Relating capital to the level of risk
• Stating explicit capital adequacy goals with respect to risk
• Assessing conformity to the institution's stated objectives

In combination with a customized implementation engagement, Abacus provides the explicit analysis and reporting that assists your organization in complying with SR 99-18 and Basel II and BancWare ERisk accomplishes this in a cost-effective and timely manner.
