This section includes the following sub-sections:

·  New Features in This Release

·  List of Bugs Fixed in This Release

·  Known Issues/ Limitations

New Features in This Release

Following is the list of features incorporated in this release. For detailed information on usage of these features, refer to OFS CAP User Guide 8.0.1.0.0 in OTN Documentation Library.

Enhancements in Basel Applications

1.       Attribution Analysis

The functionality of Attribution Analysis aims at analyzing the impact of various attribution variables on the change in RWA and capital ratio of the bank across two runs. The runs can be a quarter apart or even a year apart. This functionality helps the risk analysts of the bank to increase RWA or capital ratio decrease by providing them with a causal analysis of various control factors in the categories such as Credit Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk, and Capital Structure.

2.       Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposure (UFCE)

Due to the volatility in the exchange rate movements in the current economic scenario, the foreign currency exposures that are held by any party become an area of concern, especially if they are unhedged. These exposures may in turn impact the capacity of such parties to fulfill their credit obligations towards the banks and hence result in default losses and an erosion of health of the complete financial system. To resolve this issue, RBI has suggested changes in provisioning and capital requirements due to Unhedged Foreign Currency Exposures (UFCE). These guidelines are applicable for all the counterparties to which bank has a credit risk exposure.

3.       Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR)

BIS has come up with guidelines for Standardized Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR) which replaces Standardized Method (SM) and Current Exposure Method (CEM) under Standardized Approach for Credit Risk capital computation.

4.       Basel Capital Value Chain Analysis

The functionality of Basel Capital Value Chain Analysis is aimed at enabling the user to understand the processing, massaging, and other actions taken on the data that was given by them as input to the solution. This functionality also aims at displaying the value and the lineage of data top down, that is from the Total Capital Ratio till the source where the data first hit the solution. Capital Value Chain Analysis tries to detail the value addition in the data.

Enhancements in Economic Capital Advanced Application

1.       Capital Structure

This functionality is mandatory for the banks since they need to maintain the capital as per Basel guidelines. The OFS Economic Capital Advanced is updated to comply with the latest Basel III BIS guidelines, which defines capital as CET1, Tier 1, and Tier 2 Capital.

2.       Securitization

This functionality is mandatory for the banks since they need to maintain the economic capital as per Basel guidelines. The OFS Economic Capital Advanced is updated to comply with the latest Basel III BIS guidelines.

3.       Non Securitization

The securitization transactions which are backed by non-financial assets or by operating companies, are excluded from the securitization treatment. They are instead treated as non-securitization exposures. OFS Economic Capital Advanced uses Product Processors to calculate the non-securitized exposures.
