The liquidity risk framework should enable the institution to make informed decisions based on information derived from identification, measurement or assessment and monitoring of risks. Risks should be evaluated bottom-up and top-down, through the management chain as well as across business lines, using consistent terminology and compatible methodologies throughout the institution and its group.
The liquidity risk management framework should be subject to independent internal or external review and reassessed regularly against the institution's risk tolerance/appetite, taking into account information from the risk control function and, where relevant, the risk committee. Factors that should be considered include internal and external developments, including balance sheet and revenue growth, increasing complexity of the institution's business, risk profile and operating structure, geographic expansion, mergers and acquisitions and the introduction of new products or business lines. The remuneration policy and practices should be consistent with its risk profile and promote sound and effective risk management. The bank remuneration policy should be coherent with its values, business strategy, risk tolerance/appetite and long-term interests. It should not encourage excessive risk-taking. Guaranteed variable remuneration or severance payments that end up rewarding failure are not consistent with sound risk management nor the pay-for-performance principle and should, as a general rule, be prohibited.
For staff whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of an institution (e.g. management body members, senior management, risk-takers in business units, staff responsible for internal control and any employee receiving total remuneration that takes them into the same remuneration bracket as senior management and risk takers), the remuneration policy should set up specific arrangements to ensure their remuneration is aligned with sound and effective risk management.
It is of the utmost importance that control function staff should be adequately rewarded so as to ensure they fulfil their objectives and that performance is not linked to that of the business they are monitoring. In particular, where a variable component is included, it should relate to that of the overall risk division compensation, while defining individual valuation factors that are not purely economic/results related is also necessary. The performance assessment for bonus/variable pay should include adjustments for the different risks, including that of liquidity risk. The bank's management should be ensured a balanced percentage of basic salary and variable bonus payments. A significant bonus as a percentage of basic salary should not be composed solely of cash but should be flexible and include risk-adjusted weights, while timing of the bonus payment should ensure it considers the bank's risk performance. We should have liquidity funding in the overall risk management framework and this needs to include policies, procedures, limits and controls providing adequate, timely and daily identification. It is necessary to be assessing, monitoring and reporting the risks of the individual desks and business lines as well as the overall exposure. The risk management framework needs to encompass specific guidance on the implementation of strategies, ensuring and maintaining appropriate risk limits given the set risk appetite, available capital base and strategies. The bank aggregate risk exposures should respect these set limits; the bank's management should follow up any relevant breaches of limits and ensure these are escalated and resolved (see Chapter 5).
When we are identifying and measuring risks, we should combine forward and backward looking analysis with the monitoring of daily risk exposures, considering the combination of different risk types and businesses, so as to control concentration exposure. Scenario analysis and stress testing are analyses meant to spot potential risk exposures, while standard historical controls are designed to identify the current risk exposure.
Management decisions on setting the risk limits should not only rely on quantitative information or model outputs, but consider the limitations of metrics and models following a qualitative approach such as expert assessment or an internal analysis. Macroeconomic trends and data are other important factors to include on exposure and portfolio risk assessment, remembering that we also need to base decisions on these analyses.
We need established regular and clear reporting to the senior management, business and other control functions involved: we need to design reports that are distributed in a timely manner, are accurate and highlight the key risk factors, so that management can understand anomalies or jump in exposures and proceed then to the necessary course of action.
We need to bear in mind that the reporting framework isn't just a document for information, it is key evidence for auditors and regulators and the base for presenting and assessing exposure: so management attention and effort must be devoted to its regular preparation and discussion and it needs to represent appropriately the business set-up and its changes over time. We need to ensure the reporting responsibilities are part of dedicated internal policies and there are specific internal procedures. We must also consider report production in the contingency plans. We need to make sure that the bank risk committee receives regular formal reports from the designated risk control functions.
We need a structured liquidity internal control framework, independent from business and risk takers, with appropriate skills, staffing, systems and budget to ensure they comply with responsibilities. The risk control framework should be designed to ensure effective and efficient processes, adequate control of risks in compliance with laws, regulations, supervisory requirements, internal rules and decisions taken. The internal control framework should cover the entire bank and should be tailored to its business structure, with adequate administrative and accounting procedures.
In developing the liquidity internal control framework, we need to outline a clear, transparent and documented decision-making process, setting out responsibilities for implementing internal rules and decisions. In order to implement such a robust liquidity internal control framework in all areas of the institution, the business and support units should be responsible in the first place for setting and maintaining control policies and procedures.
A functioning liquidity internal control framework also requires that an internal audit verifies that these policies and procedures are correctly applied. Second level control functions must not report to the risk-taking functions and also ought to be independent from each other, as are those performing types of control (compliance, audit, risk management). For smaller banks, risk control and compliance functions may be combined.
