Q1. What is Counterparty Credit Risk? What is CVA and how is it calculated?
Counterparty Credit Risk is the risk of loss due to a counterparty defaulting on a financial contract. CVA is the cost of this risk.
Counterparty Credit Risk is the risk that a party in a financial contract will default on their obligations.
CVA (Credit Valuation Adjustment) is the cost of this risk and is calculated as the difference between the risk-free portfolio value and the value of the portfolio with counterparty credit risk.
CVA takes into account the probability of defa...read more
Q2. What are the documents delivered by a BA in a data migration project?
BA delivers various documents in a data migration project.
Requirements document
Data mapping document
Data quality report
Test cases and test results
User acceptance testing (UAT) plan
Training materials
Data migration plan
Q3. What is the difference between BDD and TDD? Elaborate with examples
BDD focuses on behavior while TDD focuses on testing.
BDD stands for Behavior Driven Development while TDD stands for Test Driven Development.
BDD emphasizes on the behavior of the system from the user's perspective.
TDD emphasizes on testing the code and ensuring it meets the requirements.
BDD uses natural language to describe the behavior of the system in scenarios.
TDD uses code to test the functionality of the system.
BDD involves collaboration between developers, testers, and ...read more
Q4. What is the difference between a user story and an epic?
A user story is a small, specific requirement while an epic is a larger, more general requirement.
User stories are typically written from the perspective of the end user and describe a specific action or feature they need.
Epics are larger requirements that may encompass multiple user stories and often require more time and resources to complete.
User stories are often used in agile development to break down larger requirements into smaller, more manageable pieces.
Epics can be ...read more
Q5. How is Counterparty Credit Risk reduced or mitigated?
Counterparty Credit Risk can be reduced or mitigated through various methods.
Performing credit checks on counterparties
Establishing credit limits for counterparties
Collateralizing transactions
Using netting agreements
Diversifying counterparties
Monitoring credit exposure regularly
Q6. What are the various methods of VaR calculation?
VaR can be calculated using historical simulation, parametric method, and Monte Carlo simulation.
Historical simulation uses past data to estimate potential losses.
Parametric method assumes a normal distribution of returns and calculates VaR based on mean and standard deviation.
Monte Carlo simulation uses random sampling to simulate potential outcomes and estimate VaR.
Other methods include delta-normal method and extreme value theory.
The choice of method depends on the nature ...read more
Q7. What are the ceremonies in a Scrum delivery model?
Scrum ceremonies include Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-up, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective.
Sprint Planning - planning the work to be done in the upcoming sprint
Daily Stand-up - a daily meeting to discuss progress and plan for the day
Sprint Review - a meeting to review the work completed in the sprint
Sprint Retrospective - a meeting to reflect on the sprint and identify areas for improvement
Q8. Explain formulae to calculate Expected Loss?
Expected Loss formulae calculates the potential loss from credit risk.
Expected Loss = Probability of Default x Exposure at Default x Loss Given Default
Probability of Default is the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on a loan
Exposure at Default is the amount of money owed by the borrower at the time of default
Loss Given Default is the percentage of the Exposure at Default that is not recoverable
Expected Loss is used to estimate the potential loss from credit risk
It helps ban...read more
Q9. What are the main tenets of Basel 4?
Basel 4 is a set of banking regulations that aim to strengthen the resilience of the banking sector.
Basel 4 introduces new capital requirements for banks
It includes a new standardized approach for credit risk
It also introduces a new output floor to limit the variability of risk-weighted assets
Basel 4 aims to improve the comparability and transparency of banks' risk-weighted assets
It also includes new requirements for market risk and operational risk
Basel 4 is expected to be i...read more
Q10. Main differences between Basel 3 and Basel 4?
Basel 4 is an updated version of Basel 3 with stricter regulations and additional requirements.
Basel 4 includes new requirements for market risk, credit risk, and operational risk.
Basel 4 introduces a new standardized approach for measuring counterparty credit risk.
Basel 4 requires banks to hold more capital against their exposures.
Basel 4 also includes new disclosure requirements for banks.
Basel 4 is expected to be implemented gradually over the next few years.
Q11. What is Fat Tail Loss?
Fat tail loss refers to the extreme losses that occur due to rare events with high impact.
Fat tail loss is a type of risk that is often overlooked because it is associated with rare events.
It is called 'fat tail' because the probability distribution of the event has a fatter tail than a normal distribution.
Examples of fat tail events include natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and financial market crashes.
Fat tail losses can have a significant impact on businesses and econo...read more
