Counterparty Limits Efficiency Initiative

Client Requirement:

The client identified a need to improve its credit risk management practices as it was concerned that its current policies and processes for the management of counterparty risk were not optimal. In order to put in place these necessary functional and business changes the client recognised the need to embark on a systems selection process, however, before any technology changes were defined it wanted to ensure that it had designed its overarching policy and methodology framework and required advice on this. 

Our Engagement:

InteDelta was engaged to:

• Identify and specify the business process and policy changes needing to be made in conjunction with the system implementation;
• Review and advise on the methodology choices the client wished to make;
• Provide advice on risk management vendors capable of meeting the client’s specific requirements;
• Provide training to senior management and stakeholders outlining the recommended policy and methodology changes.

Our Approach:

InteDelta provided counterparty and credit risk subject matter experts to deliver value-added expertise and best practice, working alongside the client’s internal staff.

We employed our industry-proven methodology, specifically tailored to risk management projects, to understand existing client processes and map these to industry best practice. These were used as the basis for our strategic design recommendations.

Business Benefits:

Through leveraging InteDelta’s expertise and proven analysis methodology, the client ensured that its approach to credit risk management met best practice standards and were able to build a business case based upon this for senior management buy-in for the implementation of this.
