RiskValue manages all entities which are relevant to Banking or other financial institution subject to Basel III regulation. These entities include Obligors, Risk Ratings, Collateral, and exposures of all types. In addition, the regulatory credit module offers risk weighting of all assets, optimization of collateral usage, derivation of capital requirements, and production of Pillar 1 & 3 reports using the standardized or the Internal Ratings Based (IRB) approaches, or a combination of these. Multiple parametrization sets may be defined, allowing accommodating banking groups operating in different jurisdictions, as well as application of stress/what-if-scenarios.
