Understanding Risk Analytics Setup

This section lists prerequisites and discusses the risk analytics setup process.

Before using Risk Management, you must:

  • Set up banks and counterparties.

  • Set up the Cash Management and Deal Management products.

  • Set up third-party analytics.

Risk Management is a data-driven application for evaluating risk. You define how the application works with risk data and models it through capture mechanisms. Risk Management can accommodate the models you derive to address the dynamic nature of the market and the varying effects of the types of risk.

This is an overview of the risk analytics setup process:

  • Define hedge sources and hedge items.

  • Set up risk analytics.

    You can access and communicate with third-party analytics using three methods:

    • Microsoft Excel.

    • Component Object Model (COM) automation.

    • Flat File Export.

This table provides a listing of custom navigation folders in the Treasury Definitions Center that contain pages that are used to set up Risk Management.
