CFAI RESEARCH KEY FINDINGS (EXTRACT): LOW SATISFACTION WITH RISK DISCLOSURES CFA Society France 11
CFAI RESEARCH: ALIGNEMENT WITH EDTF Credit Risk Liquidity Risk Market Risk Comprehensive qualitative disclosures. Explain impairments methods. Sufficient disaggregation of maximum credit exposure including coverage of off-balance sheet commitments. Sufficient counterparty risk details including key covenants. Sufficiently explained and integrated presentation of counterparty information (e.g. CVA, Netting information). Integrated collateral and credit enhancement information. Enable users to make judgement on extent of collateralisation. Comprehensive qualitative disclosures including description of sources of funding. Improved maturity analysis (i.e. appropriate bucketing and inclusion of contingent lending commitments). Sensitivity analysis of liquidity risk is required- Delineating impact of different scenarios on funding gaps. Counterparty risk details should be provided including key covenants. Clearly convey extent of diversification of liquidity providers. Differentiate market risk components (i.e. Interest rate, Foreign currency and Commodity). Improved qualitative market risk disclosures. Comprehensive quantitative risk exposures. Improved sensitivity analysis (e.g. truly reasonable probable assumptions, impact of interdependent risk factors or correlation risks). CFA Society France 12
SOME EDTF GOALS: ENABLE TO BETTER UNDERSTAND 1) a bank s strategy*, the key risks & how risks are measured 2) a bank s liquidity position, its sources of funding 3) the calculation of a bank s risk-weighted assets (RWAs) 4) the relationship between market risk measures & its balance sheet, 5) loan forbearance & how it affects impaired or non-performing loans * business models SOURCE: Introduction to EDTF s October 2012 report. CFA Society France 13
SOME BELIEFS PREPARING THIS EVENT EDTF is a fundamental initiative that should inspire both Banks and Corporates Disclosures should be useful to users (not only compliance for compliance) Disclosures should be comparable across entities from the same sector Using templates, with references to specific pages in financial reports Disclosure Quality indices should be used With sufficient granularity (=breakdown of information) CFA Society France 14
SOME BELIEFS (CONT D): LOOKING AT THE 7 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF EDTF (FOR BANKS) 1) Clear, balanced and understandable disclosures 2) Comprehensive, covering all of the key activities and risks 3) Present relevant information 4) Reflect how risk is managed 5) Consistency over time 6) Comparable among banks (/corporates from the same sector) 7) Provided on a timely basis IT SEEMS THEY COULD ALL APPLY TO CORPORATES CFA Society France 15
