overview

Basel III imposes stricter standards as compared to existing Basel II capital adequacy requirements in order to create greater resilience at individual bank level and reduce systemic risk. For banks, this implies a new method of calculation of capital in a timely and effective manner.

Surya offers Capital Adequacy and Risk Evaluation (CARE), a regulatory risk management solution that provides banks with a flexible framework that can be used to progressively adopt to capital adequacy regulations (Basel II and Basel III) as banks progresses and systems evolve and mature. CARE uses a rule engine framework to ensure that changes have localized impact on one type of claims class rather than the entire system, hence reducing computational risks. Stress test module helps to calculate RWA and capital requirements at various stress levels.
