BIS: Risk Data Aggregation And Risk Reporting – Executive Summary

Date 25/03/2022

The 2007–09 Great Financial Crisis exposed severe deficiencies in the management information systems (MIS) of many of the major global banks. Certain banks took entire days, or longer, to aggregate their exposures to single counterparties. In practice, such information was needed during the crisis several times a day for multiple counterparties. Even during non-crisis episodes, such information is needed for management to make sound business decisions and for supervisors to effectively protect the safety and soundness of the financial system. The crisis therefore served as a "wake-up call" for the banking industry and the regulatory community and highlighted the need to overhaul the risk data aggregation capabilities and risk reporting practices of banks.
