Overview In the five years since it was introduced by the Basel Committee for Banking Supervision, the Basel II Capital Accord has evolved as a complex set of recommendations that will create a variety of regulatory compliance challenges for banks around the globe. This white paper emphasizes that while the data requirements of Basel II are significant, the New Accord is not simply a data and information systems exercise. Indeed, addressing Basel II's data and IT issues are means to an end, not an end in themselves. Ultimately, Basel II's capital requirements have wide-ranging implications for risk management and, thus, corporate governance. By focusing on those aspects of the New Accord, banks can begin to benefit from its most important opportunities.
