QIS – Basel IV/finalisation of Basel III reforms
For a Tier 1 Bank in Belgium
The challenge
The Basel IV framework and its implementation will mean unprecedented challenges for every bank across Europe, especially around data and IT architecture because of the new requirements. The IT infrastructure needs to be more powerful to allow for parallel calculations of STD and IRB approaches whilst being more integrated to ensure data integrity across the different disciplines of accounting, risk and regulatory reporting. The challenges that Basel IV brings will have a huge impact on the structure within banks. The European Banking Authority requires that every bank perform a Quantitative Impact Study to understand the impact on their infrastructure as a result of the changes. Banks need to be well aware of the implications of the Basel IV regulation and must prepare what they need to adapt in order to be compliant with it.
