Process Overview*
The Process establishes, maintains, drives consistent application of, and assesses the effectiveness of the Enterprise Value-at-Risk (VaR) Backtesting Finance Control Guidelines owned by the Global Markets (GM) / Global Banking (GB) Finance organization. Backtesting is a daily regulatory requirement to gauge the effectiveness of the VaR models by comparing the calculated VaR with reported Profit & Loss (P&L) results. Each business day’s attributed P&L, published by complementary GM Business Finance & Control (BFC) Execution Processes via a variety of Tech supported applications, is an input into the VaR Backtesting (VBT) Process owned by Global Risk Management (GRM) where it is compared to 1-day VaR from the VaR model. If attributed P&L (as either loss or gain) exceeds VaR , then the VaR is considered to have been ""breached"" and reported to regulators as an ""overage”. This Process is responsible for ensuring that attributed P&L submitted to GRM is complete and accurate for VBT, coordinates GM Finance due diligence when potential overages are identified, and delivers VBT results to the stakeholders.
