  Loss Data Remediation – Corporate & Investment Banking – Large European Corporate & Investment Bank, LondonThe focus of this engagement is to help a large European investment bank to adhere to the latest regulatory requirements. As per the regulatory requirements (Basel 2 protocol), our client has a duty to keep reserve capital in proportion to the lending amount. At present, the historic data that the client currently holds electronically is partially accurate and therefore insufficient for Credit analysts to model effectively from. As such, the FSA has imposed strict guidelines regarding the amount of collateral that must be held in relation to the lending amount. Core objective of this project is to accurately backfill the loan data, correcting any discrepancies as they are discovered to a standard that is acceptable to the regulatory body to allow for less collateral to be held in reserve by the client, thus releasing capital for investment required for other operations/profit making divisions. As a result of this project, banks historic back filled data will be passed to the modelers who will help them to implement the LGD & PD models and help the client to release the reserve collateral and capital in order to comply with FSA regulations. As per the project requirement, this project is being executed onshore i.e. (London). As a part of this project Vikas is • Working in a corporate finance position, investigating client default cases in order to produce quantitative results for an economic ratings model which is to be used by the bank in order to comply with FSA regulations.• Searching for evidence of payments and receipts in order to ensure that there is adequate documentary proof to support the amounts that have been written off by the bank. • Reconciling the final figures with a view to confirming whether the information held is accurate and, therefore, relevant to the quantitative model.
