Do you have the dedicated staff to make FRTB changes happen in time? Turn to Protiviti’s team of quantitative analysis experts, who bring Ph.D. level skills and training in financial engineering to the table. Let us help you meet these important FRTB deadlines.

Model Approvals for Initial Margins and FRTB - Webcast
Our Areas of Expertise
Risk Identification
We carefully evaluate the immediate and longer-term impacts that FRTB will have on your organisation, including required updates to analytical methodologies, long-term data collection and redesigned processes and systems.
Model Development/Model Redesign
As FRTB changes the popular Value-at-Risk (VaR) framework to an Expected Shortfall (ES) approach, entirely new models are required. We will walk you through the steps to determine where either the Standardised Approach (SA) or the Internal Model Approach (IMA) is appropriate for your needs.
Model Validation
The Protiviti Model Risk team will validate your models compliant with the latest supervisory guidance to ensure your models are operating as intended.
Stress Testing
Stress Testing and back-testing are important components of FRTB implementations. We will work closely with your internal teams to ensure your systems and infrastructure are equipped to support the operational needs imposed by FRTB.
Data Management
Our Data Management and Advanced Analytics experts will help identify potential issues with your current data management systems, while also determining what new data infrastructure may be needed to meet FRTB demands.
Reporting
Reporting under the new standards will begin in January 2019. Our comprehensive approach to FRTB implementation includes developing model applications and reporting practises that will meet the strict FRTB requirements.
