About the role PwC’s Prudential Risk and Regulation team supports clients across a full range of prudential regulatory topics including Pillar 1 and 2 capital and liquidity requirements, recovery and resolution planning and regulatory reporting.
Our clients are predominantly banks and broker dealers, ranging in size and complexity from small start-ups to large, complex international groups.
For Pillar 2 we support our clients in meeting Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) and Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP) regulatory requirements through hands-on delivery support, review and challenge and training of Boards and management teams.
We engage directly with and influence some of the most senior individuals at firms, reflecting the importance of the Pillar 2 regime in how firms manage their capital and liquidity adequacy.
We provide independent review and challenge of firms’ risk identification, risk assessment, stress testing approaches, and capital and liquidity quantifications and conclusions.
We also support management in their preparations for interactions with the UK regulators (Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP), and Senior Management Function interviews etc.) by providing coaching and mock interviews.
Our team also supports a wide range of financial services firms with their recovery and resolution planning (RRP) work.
We support our clients to develop financial, operational and strategic capabilities to comply with emerging and recent RRP policy developments, including the Resolvability Assessment Framework (RAF) and Trading Activity Wind-Down (TWD).
We also provide advice on all aspects of RRP documentation, including Recovery Plans, Solvent Wind-Down Plans and resolution reporting templates.
Our team also supports clients in testing their RRP arrangements through tabletop fire-drill exercises and simulations for Board and C-suite executives. The ICAAP and ILAAP are also key documents to be prepared and submitted by firms seeking authorisation for a banking licence.
Our team supports these clients through an often long and complex authorisation process during which they must demonstrate to the UK regulators that they have a legally, operationally and financially viable business model.
We help applicants to navigate this process, in particular by providing support and advice on strategy, financial and regulatory modelling, regulatory documentation (ICAAP, ILAAP, Regulatory Business Plan and the Recovery Plan) and regulatory relationship management. These require expertise from across PwC and we work closely with other PwC teams who support applicants with their governance, IT strategy and operational resilience.
