The chief financial officer of the bank holding company must certify that the disclosures required by this appendix are appropriate, and the board of directors and senior management are responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective internal control structure over financial reporting, including the disclosures required by this appendix.

The bank holding company must provide a summary table on its public website that specifically indicates where all the disclosures may be found (for example, regulatory report schedules, page numbers in annual reports).

- Total risk-weighted assets should also be disclosed. Return to text
- Table 4 does not include equity exposures. Return to text
- That is, after accounting offsets in accordance with US GAAP (for example, FASB Interpretations 39 and 41) and without taking into account the effects of credit risk mitigation techniques, for example collateral and netting. Return to text
- For example, banks could apply a breakdown similar to that used for accounting purposes. Such a breakdown might, for instance, be (a) loans, off-balance sheet commitments, and other non-derivative off-balance sheet exposures, (b) debt securities, and (c) OTC derivatives. Return to text
- Geographical areas may comprise individual countries, groups of countries or regions within countries. A bank holding company might choose to define the geographical areas based on the way the company�s portfolio is geographically managed. The criteria used to allocate the loans to geographical areas must be specified. Return to text
- A bank holding company is encouraged also to provide an analysis of the aging of past-due loans. Return to text
- The portion of general allowance that is not allocated to a geographical area should be disclosed separately. Return to text
- The reconciliation should include the following: a description of the allowance; the opening balance of the allowance; charge-offs taken against the allowance during the period; amounts provided (or reversed) for estimated probable loan losses during the period; any other adjustments (for example, exchange rate differences, business combinations, acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries), including transfers between allowances; and the closing balance of the allowance. Charge-offs and recoveries that have been recorded directly to the income statement should be disclosed separately. Return to text
- This disclosure does not require a detailed description of the model in full � it should provide the reader with a broad overview of the model approach, describing definitions of the variables, and methods for estimating and validating those variables set out in the quantitative risk disclosures below. This should be done for each of the four category/subcategories. The bank holding company should disclose any significant differences in approach to estimating these variables within each category/subcategories. Return to text
- The PD, ELGD, LGD and EAD disclosures in Table 11.5(c) should reflect the effects of collateral, qualifying master netting agreements, eligible guarantees and eligible credit derivatives as defined in Part 1. Disclosure of each PD grade should include the exposure weighted-average PD for each grade. Where a bank holding company aggregates PD grades for the purposes of disclosure, this should be a representative breakdown of the distribution of PD grades used for regulatory capital purposes.

- Outstanding loans and EAD on undrawn commitments can be presented on a combined basis for these disclosures. Return to text
- These disclosures are a way of further informing the reader about the reliability of the information provided in the �quantitative disclosures: risk assessment� over the long run. The disclosures are requirements from year-end 2010; in the meantime, early adoption is encouraged. The phased implementation is to allow a bank holding company sufficient time to build up a longer run of data that will make these disclosures meaningful. Return to text
- This regulation is not prescriptive about the period used for this assessment. Upon implementation, it might be expected that a bank holding company would provide these disclosures for as long run of data as possible � for example, if a bank holding company has 10 years of data, it might choose to disclose the average default rates for each PD grade over that 10-year period. Annual amounts need not be disclosed. Return to text
- A bank holding company should provide this further decomposition where it will allow users greater insight into the reliability of the estimates provided in the �quantitative disclosures: risk assessment.� In particular, it should provide this information where there are material differences between its estimates of PD, ELGD, LGD or EAD compared to actual outcomes over the long run. The bank holding company should also provide explanations for such differences. Return to text
- Net unsecured credit exposure is the credit exposure after considering both the benefits from legally enforceable netting agreements and collateral arrangements without taking into account haircuts for price volatility, liquidity, etc. Return to text

Where relevant, bank holding companies are encouraged to give further information about mitigants that have not been recognized for that purpose. Return to text
- Credit derivatives that are treated, for the purposes of this Appendix, as synthetic securitization exposures should be excluded from the credit risk mitigation disclosures and included within those relating to securitization. Return to text
