The ECF procedure particularly supports:
- Impairment Management using defined expected cash flows
- Consideration of probability-weighted scenarios
- Principle of dual GAAP or single-GAAP valuations
- Impairment management for on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet transactions
- Calculation and position management at single-transaction level
IPX procedure:
Manage impairments using loss rate-based methods
The Impairment Processing Extension (IPX procedure) features a flexible process framework for modeling loss-rate based impairment methods. The extension is specially designed to handle high data volumes using parallel processing procedures.
The IPX procedure includes processes to assign single transactions to different impairment categories (e.g. stages/buckets) as well as processes for loss-rate based impairment-calculation (by using EAD, LGD, PD, for example), transfer between the impairment categories and position management of the corresponding risk provision.
Das IPX procedure particularly supports:
- Impairment Management using loss rate-based methods
- Calculation of Simulation-Scenarios / Stress-Scenarios
