Counterparty Risk Benefit Assessor
Our Counterparty Risk Benefit Assessor tool is used to assess the benefits and associated costs of any counterparty risk initiative. We have a pre-configured tool for this purpose, but this may also be built out to meet a client’s particular requirements. The diagram below shows the primary components of our Counterparty Risk Benefit Assessor:
For each of the areas covered we have developed a range of metrics to assess the benefits and costs arising from the proposed programme of work:
| Area | Metrics |
|---|---|
| View full table | |
| P&L |
|
| Risk exposure | Expected change in counterparty credit risk exposures as a result of improvements to be made to the counterparty risk process |
| Capital | Expected change in client’s economic and/or regulatory capital through more sophisticated counterparty risk modelling |
| Efficiency and control | Efficiency and control benefits to be gained from automation and or rationalisation of the end to end counterparty risk management process. e.g. in rationalisation of counterparty risk limit structures |
| Reputation |
This is a more judgemental area in which we assess the likely impact on the client’s reputation from the perspective of:
|
| Project costs | We have standard project cost estimations for counterparty risk projects based upon previous work. These can be used as a starting point and be built out for each client specific initiative |
| Ongoing technology costs | We have standard ongoing technology cost estimations for counterparty risk infrastructure based upon previous work. These can be used as a starting point and be built out for each client specific initiative |
| Headcount costs | We have a headcount model for the estimation of the ongoing incremental business headcount which can be expected to arise from any process change |
