10. Basel II (Capital Requirement Directive, CRD) Directive 2006/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions; and Directive 2006/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 on the capital adequacy of investment firms and credit institutions. Basel II

11. Basel II is structured around three so-called pillars. Pillar 1 – minimum regulatory requirements. They address and allocate capital for the principal risks faced by brokerage house (credit risk, market risk and operational risk). Pillar 2 – ICAAP/SREP. It’s aim is to ensure that a brokerage house's capital level is sufficient to cover its overall risk. Pillar 3 – market discipline. Also relates to minimum levels of public disclosure. Basel II

12. The ICAAP is the firm’s own assessment of the internal capital it needs to hold against its risks. The SREP is how supervisors assess the overall risks of firm/group, covering inherent business risk, control factors and internal governance. SREP includes a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the ICAAP. ICAAP/SREP

28. Divided into: – Module A – Overview – standardized questions about an entity (shareholding structure, capital group, capital allocated for risks) – Module B – Risk profile – detailed questions (material risks, key employees, IT structure) Two approaches Presentation

29. Pros + easy to aggregate results, + convenient for a supervisor (no additional analysis). Standard presentation Cons – preparation for such presentation is time- consuming (extensive set), – some questions may not apply to a particular brokerage house.

30. Pros + less burdensome for small brokerage houses. Tailored presentation Cons – nearly impossible to aggregate results, – requires additional work of a supervisor, – some questions can be accidentally not included.

31. Supervisor – Notification (date, set of questions…) Presentation to-do list Company – Prepares and gives presentation – Communicates with a supervisor – Provides electronic deliverables

35. Off-site Requires additional communication with the brokerage house and further exchange of information. Off-site supervision uses additional information obtained from the brokerage house that was not included in the presentation but is necessary from the supervisor’s point of view to properly rank a brokerage house.

36. An on-site examination focuses on detailed assessment of the brokerage house's business and financial condition It involves looking at financial statements, systems and procedures, transactions and documentation, as well as meeting with management and staff Reliable supervisory tool (low risk) On-site

37. On-site examinations have some limitations, they: – involve significant supervisory resources, – can be costly and burdensome for brokerage houses, – relate to the assessment of a brokerage house at a specific point in time, – in addition, information contained in examination does not remain valid for long. On-site limitations

38. Similar to an on-site examination Unlike an on-site examination, inspection also involves assessment of compliance Inspection

40. Each component of risk is rated on a scale from 1 (best) through 4 (worst) based on supervisory criteria and guidelines Results are aggregated using weights (summing up to 1) Final rating – a number with two decimal points (only range is communicated i.e. 1 – 1,5) Exception – when an on-site examination or inspection are conducted we communicate the exact number i.e. 2,14 Rating

41. Meaning 1 – 1,5Good general situation of the entity in the context of risk. Supervisory strategy determined as result of BION narrows down to monitoring reports and other information that are likely to influence the exposure and the level of risk. 1,5 – 2,5Satisfying general situation of the entity in all of the assessed areas. Irregularities that appear (if any) aren't material from the point of view of safety of the entity. 2,5 – 3,5General situation is not satisfying. Appearing irregularities aren't at present substantial from the point of view of safety of the entity, however if they aren't eliminated they can become a threat. 3,5 – 4,0Critical situation of the assessed entity. Appearing irregularities are alarming – entity’s ability to continue it’s business is doubtful. Scale
