Banks.
At Risk Advis, we work with banks to strengthen their risk management, finance, and regulatory capabilities in an increasingly complex environment shaped by Basel III/IV, ECB and PRA supervision, and evolving technological demands. We combine strategic insight with operational execution to deliver tangible results in risk control, model governance, and transformation.
We design, review, and enhance comprehensive policy frameworks tailored to the clients portfolio and Risk Appetite that align with Basel (III, 3.1 or IV,) Bcbs 239, DORA and with local regulatory expectations. Our approach ensures that governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) structures are consistent, transparent, and fully auditable across the institution. We have enormous experience with cross border banks and can tackle regulatory fragmentation in an efficient way.
Our team supports banks in meeting their reporting obligations under Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (e.g COREP, FINREP,and Non- EU National Capital Rules.) We provide support to either an holistic view of the Regulatory Reporting Framework or to specific regulatory requests such as ICAAP, Stress Testing and Pillar III. We ensure regulatory data is accurate, reconciled, and compliant, reducing operational risk and supervisory scrutiny.
Risk Advis provides independent validation of internal models across Market Risk, Credit Risk, and Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB). We ensure compliance with FRTB and IFRS 9 standards while strengthening model risk governance and documentation.
We assist banks in developing and validating pricing methodologies for both trading and banking book instruments. Our experts ensure models are aligned with fair value principles and reflect current market conditions. For this purpose we sometimes work together with established risk software vendors.
We respond rapidly to regulatory demands such as Stress Testing, , ICAAP, and ILAAP exercises. Our consultants help design, execute, and document these processes in line with supervisory expectations.
We prepare clients for onsite inspections by the ECB and other authorities, such as Targeted Reviews of Internal Models (TRIM). Our approach includes mock interviews, gap analysis, and remediation support to ensure full readiness. Our specialists have worked on the side of the Regulator for a number of these reviews and can prepare banks under inspection or guide them through the full cycle process towards the expected outcomes.
