Prudential Standard APS 113

Capital Adequacy: Internal Ratings-based Approach to Credit Risk Objectives and key requirements of this Prudential Standard This Prudential Standard sets out the requirements that an authorised deposit-taking institution that has, or is seeking, approval to use an internal ratings-based approach to credit risk must meet, both at the time of initial implementation and on an ongoing basis. The key requirements of this Prudential Standard are that an authorised deposit-taking institution must: * determine the capital requirement for a given credit exposure, within certain parameters set by APRA; * develop and maintain rating and risk estimation systems and processes that provide for a meaningful assessment of borrower and transaction characteristics, meaningful differentiation of risk, and accurate and consistent quantitative estimates of risk; and * ensure that systems and processes for the internal ratings-based approach to determining capital also play an integral role in the institution's credit approval, risk management and internal capital allocation functions.
