The document summarizes a presentation given at the Actuarial Society 2016 Convention on exploring the value of a well-defined Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) process. It discusses how business as usual is no longer sufficient due to increased interconnectedness, global regulation, and volatility. ORSA is presented as providing value by establishing a control cycle for strategy, risk identification, and monitoring. The presentation examines how most companies currently approach ORSA as a compliance exercise rather than integrated process, and provides recommendations for improving risk reporting and moving to a more continuous and forward-looking ORSA approach.

Shareholding Disclosure: Are Financial Firms on top of this regulatory challe...Leigh Hill
With MiFID 2, Basel, 871(m) and other more talked about regulations making headlines firms have their hands full. However, as regulators begin to focus on systemic risk the accuracy of disclosures is gaining greater attention.
Join this webinar for a discussion on the following shareholding disclosure topics:
What the shareholder disclosure requirements are, and why all financial institutions need to address them
The current approach - how much is manual vs automated; the use of outside council and advisory services; and the software used to manage the process
The reference data that presents the biggest challenges in the reporting process
The issues that have led to financial institutions struggling to report and how to avoid them
Future areas of investment to get it right
Best practices for managing shareholder disclosure obligations
And there is more. During the webinar we will also discuss the results of a recent industry survey focused on how financial institutions are addressing their shareholder disclosure obligations.

Meeting the high stakes challenge of effective sanctions data monitoringLeigh Hill
Identifying securities related to a sanctioned domicile or company is a straightforward concept, but in practice, it is a far more challenging task for compliance professionals.
Receiving a list of sanctions isn’t enough. In order to accurately define and maintain your ‘do not trade’ list, you need to identify all the securities related to each sanctioned entity – including those issued by domestic or foreign subsidiaries. Then there is the challenge of verifying beneficial ownership by sanctioned individuals.
Getting it right is essential to avoiding significant fines and reputational damage, but also enables you to confidently exploit investment opportunities in non-sanctioned securities.
In this webinar we will discuss:
-Issues and challenges involved in building and managing lists of sanctioned securities
-Approaches to getting it right and ensuring you’re in compliance with global sanctions regimes
-Tactics for reducing data errors and avoiding fines related to sanctions violations
RWA Density | What Lies Behind This Underrated Financial RatioGRATeam
The objective of this article is to provide a new angle to the study of RWA density. The worth of this ratio, created and largely used by financial analysts, has long been underestimated by banks. Yet as analyses show, this tool may enable a more subtle approach to risk appraisal within a financial institution.
The first part of this article will cover the origins of the ratio and the history of its use in financial analysis. The second part will showcase its characteristics and behavioural traits (including during stressperiods), exemplified through a number of theoretical tests. It will be followed by a cross-analysis of the ratio with other indicators that will help underline the informative and predictive value of RWA density.
Finally, the last two parts of the article will putthe theoretical value of RWA density to the test, by conducting a practical analysis of its behaviour in Europe over the 2012-2014 period.
The conclusion will appraise the usage and evolution needed to improve and refine the ratio, in order to monitor scarce resources.

Business As Usual (BAU)
BAU (official Wikipedia definition) is the “Unchanging state of affairs
despite some difficulties.”
A situation that has returned to its usual state after an unpleasant
or surprising event (Quick reversion to normality)
By my own deductive reasoning:
Business unusual – is then a changing state of affairs because of
some difficulties – and not changing back to the usual state

• Long and static reports
• Lack of forward looking analysis
• Focus on meeting compliance
• No one company was a leader across
all the assessment criteria.
• Reports more concise
• Improvement in:
looking forward,
stress and scenario testing,
the capital model
• ORSA still not used as tool
• Move from annual to quarterly process
• Companies struggle to align ORSA
with BAU activities

• All this regulation gave birth to something really useful – ORSA
• ORSA is quite ORSA…M! (He he)
