ORSA V: INTERACTION OF ORSA with SUPERVISORY REVIEW

Qz-3 supp:Identify advantages of ORSA over MCT

ORSA does a lot more than MCT

  • ORSA:
    1. |1] includes ALL material rsks
    2. |2] uses stress-testing to set ICT(Internal Capital Target)
    3. |3] qualitative (as well as quantitative)
    4. |4] admits assessment of internal controls
  • MCT: doesn’t do these things
