4.3.3. Data<br />

438. The CRD requires data to be held and stored for several different<br />

purposes. The various databases and datasets could be differentiated<br />

according to the purposes they are meant to support:<br />

· Those used to build models based on the institution’s own internal<br />

risk­measurement systems for the purpose of calculating the own<br />

funds requirement (Article 105(1);<br />

· Those that enable regular reporting of operational risk exposures<br />

and loss experience (Annex X, Part 3, Paragraph 4);<br />

· Those used for the internal generation of operational risk<br />

measures, based on a corresponding historical observation period<br />

(Annex X, Part 3, Paragraph 13);<br />

· Those used to map internal loss data into business lines and<br />

event types, and to record operational risk­related credit and<br />

market risk losses (Annex X, Part 3, Paragraph 14);<br />

· Those used in collecting various information about event<br />

types(Annex X, Part 3, Paragraph 16);<br />

· Those used in collecting data from external sources(Annex X, Part<br />

3, Paragraph 19).<br />

IT systems<br />

439. Institutions’ physical databases need not be built to address each of<br />

these purposes separately, but may contain data relating to a mix of<br />

purposes.<br />

440. Institutions should have an IT systems that ensures:<br />

· Appropriate availability and maintenance of all relevant<br />

databases;<br />

· Appropriate modelling and computing capacity at all times; and<br />

· Appropriate controls on the data­capture process.<br />

441. These IT systems should be included in the institution’s general<br />

contingency plans, in order to guarantee the recovery of the<br />

information. Established controls should prevent access by<br />

unauthorised people and ensure the integrity of the data.<br />

Data quality standards<br />

442. To ensure data quality, Internal Audit should conduct at least the<br />

following:<br />

· a regular review of controls;<br />

· a review of the system for­cross checking operational loss data<br />

with material accounting data.<br />

443. Institutions should perform consistency checks that include an audit<br />

trail of data sources, total and record count checks when data move<br />
