Firstly, the report analyzes the risk management under current assets of Marylebone by applying the VaR methods, such as Variance – Covariance, Historical Simulation and Extended Historical Simulation, in order to have criticisms under each method on the effectiveness. The reports will continuously measure and manage each category under Basel Accords regulation: Market Risk, Credit Risk and Operational Risk. Furthermore, all five Basel Accords including: Basel 1(1988 BIS Accord), Basel 1 (1996 Amendment), Basel 2, Basel 2.5 and Basel 3 will be taken into account in order to develop the framework in details.
