A sound capital planning process: fundamental elements 2014-01-23T10:00:00Z The Basel Committee has issued these sound practices to foster overall improvement in banks' capital planning practices. Indeed, an important lesson from the financial crisis concerned the need for banks to improve and strengthen their capital planning. Some of the observed weaknesses reflected processes that were not sufficiently comprehensive, appropriately forward-looking or adequately formalised. As a consequence, some banks underestimated the risks inherent in their business strategies and, in turn, misjudged their capital needs.

Prudent management of these risks, together with effective supervisory oversight, is critical in protecting the safety and soundness of banks as well as the integrity of the financial system. Failure to manage these risks can expose banks to serious reputational, operational, compliance and other risks.

Progress in adopting the principles for effective risk data aggregation and risk reporting 2013-12-18T10:00:00Z The progress report provides a snapshot of G-SIBs' overall preparedness to comply with the Principles, as well as the related challenges they face. G-SIBs are increasingly aware of the importance of this topic and have taken steps towards fully implementing the Principles. Nevertheless, many banks are facing difficulties in establishing strong data aggregation governance, architecture and processes, which collectively represent the initial stage of implementation. Instead, they resort to extensive manual workarounds. Notably, of the 30 banks that were identified as G-SIBs during 2011 and 2012, 10 reported that they will not be able to fully comply with the Principles by the 2016 deadline. The main reason reported is large, ongoing, multi-year IT and data-related projects.

The document replaces the 2001 document Internal audit in banks and the supervisor's relationship with auditors. It takes into account developments in supervisory practices and in banking organisations and incorporates lessons drawn from the recent financial crisis.

During the financial crisis, market participants and supervisors were hampered in their efforts to undertake detailed assessments of banks' capital positions and make cross-jurisdictional comparisons. The source of this difficulty was insufficiently detailed disclosure by banks and a lack of consistency in reporting between banks and across jurisdictions. This lack of clarity may have contributed to uncertainty during the financial crisis. The disclosure requirements aim to improve market discipline through enhancing both transparency and comparability.
