Basel II – Pillar 2
The Supervisory Review & Evaluation Process (SREP) and the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) implementation and Compliance Training

Overview:
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has identified four key principles that underpin Pillar 2:

1. Institutions must have a process for assessing their overall capital adequacy in relation to their risk profile and a strategy for maintaining their capital levels - Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process, ICAAP
2. Supervisors must review the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process, ICAAP and take supervisory action if they are not satisfied with the results of this process - Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process, SREP
3. Supervisors must expect institutions to operate above the minimum requirements - and should have the ability to require them to hold capital in excess of the minimum.
4. Supervisors should seek to intervene at an early stage to prevent capital from falling below the minimum levels required to support the risk characteristics of a particular institution and should require rapid remedial action if capital is not maintained or restored.
