BCBS 239: Guiding Principles for Compliance

Banks need to not only demonstrate the ability to perform effective and regular risk management, but also to conduct ad hoc risk assessments (e.g., of critical credit, market and liquidity positions and exposures during times of stress and crisis). For some organisations, achieving compliance will entail a fundamental review of their data structures, processes and systems.

BCBS 239 is problematic because it offers few clear metrics to measure compliance effectiveness. BCBS 239: Guiding Principles for Compliance gives the reader an overview of the regulation in addition to details on its principles, the data management issues raised, and its requirement for data that is accurate, complete, timely and appropriate. Editor Peter Haines has assembled a team of contributors who cover the governance requirements of the regulation and describe best practice for compliance.

Chapters cover:

• Risk Data Aggregation
• Risk Reporting
• Data Governance
• Data Architecture
• Managing Data Quality
