Supervisory Framework For The Use Of "BACKTESTING" In Conjunction With The Internal Models Approach To Market Risk Capital Requirements.

Abstract

This document is a technical note which forms part of a three-part package of documents issued by the Basle Committee to amend the Capital Accord of July 1988 to take account of market risks.

The document presents a methodology for testing the accuracy of the models used by banks to measure their market risks. The essence of the technique is to compare actual trading results with model-generated risk measures.
