Overview Basel II represents a significant opportunity for banks to enhance their risk management processes, models, abilities, and linkages with the rest of the organization. These improvements do not come without their cost in terms of time, resources, budget, and organizational fatigue. It is incumbent upon bank managers to make a well-informed decision regarding Basel II compliance in light of its potential benefits and potential costs. Moody's KMV believes that those banks that make the investment in their risk management capabilities for economic decision-making, as well as pursuant to IRB, will be significantly advantaged relative to those who seek only compliance.
