“Finalizing the New Basel Accord: Laying the Path for a Groundbreaking Capital Framework.”

Kim Olson
Assistant Vice President – Bank Supervision
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK
New York, New York

Kim will address:
  • Latest developments in the New Accord: The New Accord’s three-pillar framework, encompassing minimum capital requirements, supervisory review and market discipline, will change not only how institutions calculate and assess their capital ratios, but also what information will be disclosed to the public and reported to regulators. What will these changes mean for financial institutions, risk managers, internal auditors and regulators?
  • Focus on operational risk: The events of 2001 have created additional focus on managing operational risk, which can come from failed internal processes or external events. What are some of the lessons that can be learned from recent events and how does the New Accord address operational risk?
  • Changes in credit risk capital charges: The New Accord allows banks to choose from a variety of approaches, from a standardized approach to two internal-ratings based approaches. What are the latest developments in these areas and how do the more advanced approaches provide incentives for innovation and improved risk-measurement and management?
  • Pillar 3 and beyond: The New Accord will substantially change the content of information that is required to be disclosed to the public as well as what information is reported to the regulators. What do the new disclosure requirements mean for risk managers, auditors and regulators?

“Current Trends in Vendor Management Auditing”

James D. Strickland
Audit Director
FleetBoston Corporation
Boston, Massachusetts

Banks are utilizing third party service providers with increasing frequency. Each contract brings a new dynamic and a different set of risks into your bank that must be managed. Recent regulatory guidance stresses the impor-tance of vendor management over these service providers. Determining audit coverage of these vendors is also important. Questions being debated include how much reliance to place on SAS70 reports, the adequacy of the vendor due diligence, the role of vendor management as a risk management discipline, and what is the frequency and depth of supplemental on-site audit work. This session will explore these, and other, issues relating to external vendor management. In addition, an outline of the approach to vendor management by FleetBoston Corporate Audit will be discussed.
