How it works

Capital Clarity offers three pre-defined risk solutions for calculating Pillar 2A / Pillar 2R / Own Funds Requirements capital ; CC-OREX (operational risk); CC-COREX (credit concentration risk) and CC-CREX (credit risk). Customers are able to purchase a license for only one risk module, a mix of two, or all three modules, depending on the scope of your risk management and ICAAP requirement.

Within the individual risk modules, taking CC-OREX for example, users are able to quickly and easily upload scenario and correlation data, based on their assessments of firm-specific operational risks. Users also have the ability at this stage to choose tailored input parameters, from the number of simulations to run to the model’s confidence level.

This is the time-saver. Based on approaches commonly applied within the industry and aligned with regulatory expectations, our models quantify capital while allowing the risk analysts to focus on understanding and managing the risks; where value is really added.

The models output results for the user to analyse and these can be downloaded. Further results can also be investigated visually, based on simulated loss distribution histograms and scatterplots. The solution also offers the capability to run further analysis, testing convergence and sensitivity of the model. Results can be analysed and downloaded, along with graphical visuals.

Once the model has run and tests have been completed, the user is able to generate an overall report, which can be downloaded and viewed in Excel. This also offers a full audit trail of the model run and associated tests.
