WHAT IS ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE Enterprise architecture (EA) is about designing business infrastructure and organizational structure based on vision, strategic intent, and function. It is a disciplined process of designing business infrastructure and organizational structure. The goal of enterprise architecture is to provide the framework, tools, and perspectives to take a startup or business from its current state to its target state.

What Is Data Analytics? ¡ Data analytics is the science of analyzing raw data in order to make conclusions about that information. Many of the techniques and processes of data analytics have been automated into mechanical processes and algorithms that work over raw data for human consumption. ¡ Data analytics techniques can reveal trends and metrics that would otherwise be lost in the mass of information. This information can then be used to optimize processes to increase the overall efficiency of a business or system. (source: Investopedia) PROCESS FOR DATA ANALYTICS The process involved in data analysis involves several different steps: ¡ The first step is to determine the data requirements or how the data is grouped. Data may be separated by age, demographic, income, or gender. Data values may be numerical or be divided by category. ¡ The second step in data analytics is the process of collecting it. This can be done through a variety of sources such as computers, online sources, cameras, environmental sources, or through personnel. ¡ Once the data is collected, it must be organized so it can be analyzed. Organization may take place on a spreadsheet or other form of software that can take statistical data. ¡ The data is then cleaned up before analysis. This means it is scrubbed and checked to ensure there is no duplication or error, and that it is not incomplete. This step helps correct any errors before it goes on to a data analyst to be analyzed.

BCBS 239: A guide to assessing your risk data aggregation strategies 2 BCBS 239: A guide to assessing your risk data aggregation strategies 1 Introduction: BCBS 239 T here is no question that many banks need to address and further develop their Risk Data Aggregation and Risk Reporting (RDARR) capabilities. The recent global financial crisis demonstrated that many banks lacked the ability to efficiently and effectively provide senior management with a true picture of the risks the organization faces. This inability poses a significant threat, not only to the well-being of individual financial institutions, but to the entire banking system and the global economy. Aimed predominantly at G-SIBs (Global Systemically Important Banks) and designed to set compliance expectations for different risk types, BCBS 239 is the Basel Committee’s attempt to close existing gaps in RDARR. The regulation focuses on governance, infrastructure, risk data aggregation and reporting capabilities, as well as supervisory review, tools and cooperation. These are presented in the form of 14 principles—for example, “completeness,” “timeliness” and “adaptability”—with which banks must comply. Canadian banks have already started executing strategies around these principles and must be able to demonstrate their efforts to the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) every year. Indeed, G-SIBs have until early 2016 to implement the principles in full based off their 2013 self-assessment against the principles. For their part, Domestic-SIBs (D-SIBs) may also be required to adhere to these principles within three years after their designation as D-SIBs – a designation that currently applies to six of Canada’s largest banks based on a decision by OSFI in March 2013. Both BCBS and OSFI have set expectations that any bank newly designated as a G-SIB or D-SIB must comply within three years of the designation. The challenge is that BCBS 239 is principle-based regulation, so there are few clear predefined metrics banks can use to monitor compliance against the regulation. The goal of this paper is to provide measurable parameters that banks can use to accurately gauge their level of compliance and determine what actions to take if improvement is required. We begin by considering the key challenges banks face in implementing BCBS 239, then take a closer look at some of the BCBS principles that can be more readily measured, addressing the key focus areas and providing criteria to help organizations report more effectively to OSFI on their implementation progress. BCBS 239: A guide to assessing your risk data aggregation strategies 2 Three key implementation challenges for BCBS 239 Challenge 1 Lack of infrastructure and quality data In many organizations, data capture and aggregation processes are unwieldy and relatively unsophisticated. This necessitates data cleansing and manual reconciliation before the production of aggregated management reports. Moreover, different risk types require data with varying degrees of granularity, complicating the issues of consistency and quality. Banks also need the ability to generate aggregated risk data across all critical risk types during a crisis, which can be especially challenging due to poor infrastructure and data quality. Banks need to strike a balance between automation (to increase accuracy and timeliness), and flexibility (i.e. manual processes that allow them to fulfill ad-hoc requests). The challenge is significant, and unless banks improve their infrastructure to meet it, they will fall short of meeting the RDARR capability requirements. As well, they risk undermining the strategic decision-making process by regularly relying on incomplete, inaccurate or out-of-date data. Challenge 2 Increasing demand created by new reporting requirements Bank functions simply have more requirements today when it comes to meeting reporting demands. Regulators are asking for more information, increased transparency, and clear accountability. Management is looking for more information to develop data-driven strategic insights and plan strategy. This puts growing pressure on departments throughout the bank. For most banks, the data aggregation process remains largely manual, with the responsibility for submitting risk reports falling to individual business lines and legal entities, often using different approaches. This creates siloed processes, duplicated data and more work and pressure than many departments can manage. These reports, often in spreadsheet form, must then be manually reconciled and the data manually validated. With such clearly inefficient and inevitably inaccurate processes, banks have not been able to effectively aggregate risk data in ways that consistently drives decision making and enables strong risk management. Challenge 3 Measuring compliance against the regulations The principle-based nature of BCBS 239 presents some additional challenges; banks must demonstrate their efforts to comply with the principles without associated compliance metrics. Adding to the challenge, principles focusing on qualities such as “completeness,” “timeliness,” “adaptability” and “accuracy” can have different meanings, and potentially different metrics, when applied to different risk types (e.g. credit, market, liquidity). However, this also presents an opportunity to interpret these principles in a manner that is both compliant and adds real business value. It’s clear, then, that wherever possible, banks need specific criteria against which they can measure their RDARR activities—across different risk types—to determine how they’re doing, where their capabilities sit, what they must do to change, and by how much they can improve over time. BCBS 239: A guide to assessing your risk data aggregation strategies 3 º º º Approach Deloitte proposes a multi-step approach for development of metrics for compliance against BCBS 239. The approach engages stakeholders to customize RDARR requirements to their business needs and continuously adapt to changes in the business environment. Identify Key Indicators • Identify & engage stakeholders • Confirm scope • Gather information on existing indicators • Conduct workshops focused on relevant indicators Develop Metrics • Compile external best practices from subject matter experts • Propose metrics customized to the business need • Review & confirm metrics with stakeholders Define Thresholds Define thresholds based on: • Industry leading practice • Expert judgment • Historical experience • Regulatory expectations • Other factors Design Monitoring & Reporting • Define timelines and roles and responsibilities • Design reports and incorporate into reporting framework • Design escalation channels Execute Implement: • Monitoring of metrics • Change management Ongoing Improvement Process • Monitor and report on non-compliance • Follow exception management processes • Analyze effectiveness & relevance based on: Strategic considerations External factors New products & businesses • Re-calibrate indicators if required BCBS 239: A guide to assessing your risk data aggregation strategies 4 Principles and suggested

Business Architect (BA), Enterprise Architect (EA) and Data Analytics requirements for building Risk data aggregation and regulatory (risk) reporting program (RDARR) implementation in lieu of BCBS (Basel committee on Banking supervision)
Introduction
Basel committee on Banking supervision (BCBS) issues guideline for bank to identify and measure risk. This risk is addressed for mitigation across enterprise wide, therefore, business organisation is required to have top-down approach. A bank, especially operating many branches, in many jurisdictions and in many countries. But a simple example of top-down approach would be trading division where portfolio-wide approach for credit, market and operation risks is taken with policy formulated from Board of directors and executed down till the trading desk. Now, a bank operating in many countries and different time zone is extremely important for global banking activities and therefore, rightly called G-SIB (Global systematically important bank). This also where BCBS guidelines and compliance bridge requirements for FSB (Financial Stability board), which was established for vulnerability assessment for globally operating banks.
Note on scope of RDARR for BCBS 239 and FSB compliance
BCBS 239 related to risk data aggregation and regulatory (risk) reporting program encompass 14 principles which are segregated under 4 main headings, as below;
I. Overarching governance and infrastructure
II. Risk data aggregation capabilities
III. Risk reporting practices
IV. Supervisory rules and review tools
Scope, requirement and implementation of these can be carried out under following three core areas;
1. Business Architect: BA binds and blend entire banking business from end to end. Banking activities are very important for corporate and society at large. Therefore, BA works with theme of adding / delivering values by segregation into major risk categories.
2. Enterprise Architect (EA): BCBS 239 in essence translates into top down approach. Therefore, EA from perspective of RDARR is requires system design that...
