Developing and Implementing Basel II-compliant Internal Rating Systems

Financial institutions realize that at the heart of the implementation of the Foundation IRB or the Advanced IRB Basel II approaches is the need to develop and deploy an effective internal rating system.

 
The system should designate a Probability of Default (PD) for each customer, and be able to evaluate the Loss Given Default (LGD) and Exposure At Default (EAD) for each credit facility.

Achieving a high quality rating system requires a financial institution to capture enough relevant information about its customers and then submit it in the appropriate format to the model that translates the information into a risk rating.

End-to-End Internal Rating Systems Development, Deployment and Management

Peldec Decision Systems helps financial institutions in the development, the implementation and the management of an internal rating system that addresses the Basel II credit risk-related requirements.

Peldec's risk consultants assist financial institutions:
Identify which sources of information about customers are currently available, both internally and externally.
Quantify just how effective this information is in rating the customers.
Develop an internal rating model that uses the available information.
Design, develop, implement and integrate the software that is needed in order to deploy the rating model.
Validate and fine-tune the rating model over time using various statistical methodologies.
Recommend additional sources of information that can enhance the rating.
Enhance the model to accept additional sources of information as they become available.
