What is BCBS 239?
BCBS 239, formally known as "Principles for Effective Risk Data Aggregation and Risk Reporting," is a set of guidelines issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in January 2013. These principles aim to strengthen banks' risk data aggregation capabilities and internal risk reporting practices, with the overarching goal of enhancing risk management and decision-making processes within financial institutions. Here are some key points about BCBS 239:
Background and opjectives
- Origins: BCBS 239 was developed in response to the financial crisis of 2007-2008, which highlighted significant weaknesses in the ability of banks to manage and report risk data. The principles were intended to address these weaknesses.
- Objectives: The main objectives of BCBS 239 are to improve banks' ability to aggregate risk data and to enhance the timeliness, accuracy, and comprehensiveness of risk reporting to support better risk management and decision-making.
Understanding BCBS 239: Principles for Effective Risk Data Aggregation and Reporting
BCBS 239, issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, outlines 14 principles designed to improve banks' risk data aggregation and risk reporting practices. These principles aim to enhance the accuracy, timeliness, and comprehensiveness of risk data, ultimately supporting better decision-making and risk management.
