FAQ

How can balance sheet risk software support CFOs in capital planning?

Modern balance sheet risk platforms give CFOs the tools to align capital allocation with business strategy. By combining real-time modeling, regulatory stress testing and forward-looking analytics, CFOs can uncover trapped capital, improve return on capital and meet ICAAP requirements with greater confidence.

Why is ICAAP execution challenging, and how can software help?

CAAP processes are often slowed by siloed systems, fragmented data and evolving macroeconomic stress scenarios. Advanced software can help centralize risk data, models and governance workflows to reduce manual effort, improve oversight and accelerate the production of capital adequacy assessments.

What should CFOs know about managing Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 risks?

Pillar 1 risks, such as credit and market exposures, interact with Pillar 2 risks, including liquidity gaps and concentration vulnerabilities. CFOs need tools that make these interdependencies visible, allowing for more accurate scenario planning, optimized capital buffers and stronger regulatory positioning.
