Table CVAA: General qualitative disclosure requirements related to CVA
TABLE.1
|
Purpose: To provide a description of the risk management objectives and policies for CVA risk. |
|
|
Scope of application: The table is mandatory for all banks that are subject to CVA capital requirements, including banks which are qualified and have elected to set its capital requirement for CVA at 100% of its counterparty credit risk charge. |
|
|
Content: Qualitative information. |
|
|
Frequency: Annual. |
|
|
Format: Flexible. |
|
|
Banks must describe their risk management objectives and policies for CVA risk as follows: |
|
|

An explanation and/or a description of the bank's processes implemented to identify, measure, monitor and control the bank's CVA risks, including policies for hedging CVA risk and the processes for monitoring the continuing effectiveness of hedges. |
|
(b) |
Whether the bank is eligible and has chosen to set its capital requirement for CVA at 100% of the bank's capital requirement for counterparty credit risk as applicable under MAR40. |

Table CVAB: Qualitative disclosures for banks using the SA-CVA
TABLE.4
|
Purpose: To provide the main characteristics of the bank's CVA risk management framework. |
||
|
Scope of application: The table is mandatory for all banks using the SA-CVA to calculate their RWA for CVA risk. |
||
|
Content: Qualitative information. |
||
|
Frequency: Annual. |
||
|
Format: Flexible. |
||
|
Banks must provide the following information on their CVA risk management framework: |
||
|
(a) |
A description of the bank's CVA risk management framework. |
|
|
(b) |
A description of how senior management is involved in the CVA risk management framework. |
|
|
(c) |
An overview of the governance of the CVA risk management framework (eg documentation, independent control unit, independent review, independence of the data acquisition from the lines of business). |

This standard describes the scope of application of the Basel Framework.
This standard describes the criteria that bank capital instruments must meet to be eligible to satisfy the Basel capital requirements, as well as necessary regulatory adjustments and transitional arrangements.
This standard describes the framework for risk-based capital requirements.
This standard describes how to calculate capital requirements for credit risk.
This standard describes how to calculate capital requirements for market risk and credit valuation adjustment risk.
This standard describes how to calculate capital requirements for operational risk.
This standard describes the simple, transparent, non-risk-based leverage ratio. This measure intends to restrict the build-up of leverage in the banking sector and reinforce the risk-based requirements with a simple, non-risk-based "backstop" measure.
This standard describes the Liquidity Coverage Ratio, a measure which promotes the short-term resilience of a bank's liquidity risk profile.
The net stable funding ratio requires banks to maintain a stable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and off-balance-sheet activities.
Large exposures regulation limits the maximum loss that a bank could face in the event of a sudden counterparty failure to a level that does not endanger the bank's solvency. This standard requires banks to measure their exposures to a single counterparty or a group of connected counterparties and limit the size of large exposures in relation to their capital.
This standard establishes minimum standards for margin requirements for non-centrally cleared derivatives. Such requirements reduce systemic risk with respect to non-standardised derivatives by reducing contagion and spillover risks and promoting central clearing.
The Pillar 2 supervisory review process ensures that banks have adequate capital and liquidity to support all the risks in their business, especially with respect to risks not fully captured by the Pillar 1 process, and encourages good risk management.
This standard sets out disclosure requirements, which aim to encourage market discipline.
The Basel Core Principles provide a comprehensive standard for establishing a sound foundation for the regulation, supervision, governance and risk management of the banking sector.
