INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF

Company-Run Annual Stress Test Reporting Template and Documentation
for Covered Institutions with Total Consolidated Assets of $10 Billion to $50
Billion under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act
Reporting Form FDIC DFAST 10-50
total consolidated assets in the most recent quarter or
consecutive quarters as reported on the Call Report
should be used in the calculation.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The Annual Dodd Frank Act (DFA) Stress Testing
Report (FDIC DFAST 10-50 report) collects detailed
data on covered state nonmember banks and statechartered savings associations "institutions" quantitative
projections of balance sheet assets and liabilities,
income, losses, and capital across a range of
macroeconomic scenarios and qualitative supporting
information on the methodologies used to develop
internal projections of capital across scenarios. Further
information regarding the requirements of the
qualitative supporting documentation is provided in
Appendix A.
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) will provide details about the
macroeconomic scenarios to institutions on or before
November 15th of each year.

For example, if an institution reported $9.5 billion in
total consolidated assets as reported on Schedule RC of
its Call Report as of March 31 and June 30, 2013, and
$11 billion as of September 30 and December 31, 2013,
the average total assets over the four-quarter period is
calculated as $10.25 billion and the institution would
meet the requirement to conduct its first stress test for
the 2014 stress test cycle.
Once an institution meets the asset threshold, the
institution will remain subject to the final rule's
requirements unless and until the total consolidated
assets of the institution are less than $10 billion for
each of four consecutive quarters as reported on the
Call Report, as applicable (measured on the as-of date
of the fourth consecutive Call Report). An institution
that has reduced its total consolidated assets below $10
billion for four consecutive quarters will again become
subject to the requirements of this rule if it meets the
asset threshold at a later date.

Who Must Report
Reporting Criteria
Institutions that meet a threshold of greater than $10
billion but less than $50 billion in total consolidated
assets, as defined by the annual stress test rule 12 CFR
part 325 must file the FDIC DFAST 10-50 report.

Initial compliance
Per the final rule, an institution that meets the asset
threshold on or before December 31, 2012, except as
provided in the Exemptions paragraph of this section,
must comply with the rule requirements beginning with
the stress test cycle that commences on October 1, 2013,
unless that time is extended by the FDIC in writing.

The FDIC’s final rule defines total consolidated assets
as the average of the institution’s total consolidated
assets over the four most recent consecutive quarters as
reported on the institution’s Consolidated Report of
Condition and Income (Call Report FFIEC 031 or
FFIEC 041). Per the final rule, if the institution has not
filed a Call Report for each of the four most recent
consecutive quarters, the average of the institution’s

1

The FDIC DFAST 10-50 report is required to be
submitted using a financial information date of
September 30. The submission date for institutions is
the close of business March 31 of each calendar year
unless that time is extended by the FDIC in writing. The
term “submission date” is defined as the date by which
the FDIC must receive the institution’s FDIC DFAST
10-50 report.

Compliance after 12/31/12
An institution that meets the asset threshold after
December 31, 2012, must comply with the requirements
of this subpart beginning with the stress test cycle that
commences in the calendar year after the year in which
the company meets the asset threshold, unless that time
is extended by the FDIC in writing.
Exemptions

If the submission deadline falls on a weekend or
holiday, the report must be received on the first business
day after the weekend or holiday. Earlier submission
aids the FDIC in reviewing and processing reports and is
encouraged.

Institutions that do not meet the reporting criteria listed
above are exempt from reporting.
Shifts in Reporting

Organization of the Report

If an institution filing the report reaches total consolidated
assets of $50 billion or more, as defined by the stress
testing final rule, it will be required to submit the DFAST14A stress testing report to the FDIC.

General Information

Where to Submit the Report
The Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (agencies) have collaborated in
developing a streamlined and simplified DFA stress test
regulatory report that will facilitate a uniform electronic
collection process for all institutions. All institutions
should submit their completed reports electronically
through Reporting Central, the Federal Reserve’s
electronic reports submission application. Reporting
Central is a central point of entry for Federal Reserve,
FFIEC, and Treasury Department electronic reporting
submission and file uploads, and is a system many
institutions already use for other regulatory reports. Per
each agency’s final rules, each primary federal regulator
will have access to their respective institutions’
submissions.
Institutions should contact the FDIC or go to
www.frbservices.org/centralbank/reportingcentral
for
procedures for electronic submission.
All institutions must submit the completed Scenario
Variables Schedule, if applicable, and qualitative
supporting information in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
For requirements regarding the submission of these
items, see the Scenario Variables Schedule section and
qualitative supporting information, Appendix A, of these
instructions.

When to Submit the Report
2

The annual company-run DFA stress test will cover a
nine-quarter planning horizon beginning on the first day
of a stress test cycle (on October 1) and use financial
information as of September 30 of a reporting year (for a
total of ten quarters of information reported).
Institutions will report on the FDIC DFAST 10-50 their
quantitative projections of losses, resources available to
absorb those losses, balance sheet positions, and capital
composition on a quarterly basis over the duration of the
scenarios and planning horizon. The FDIC will provide
details about the macroeconomic scenarios to
institutions on or before November 15th of each year.
The FDIC DFAST 10-50 report is organized into the
following sections:
A. Scenario Variables Schedule
B. Results Schedule
a. Summary Schedule
b. Baseline Scenario
i.
Income Statement
ii.
Balance Sheet & Capital

Information

C. Projections

In addition to the projections collected on the FDIC
DFAST 10-50 report, institutions are also required to
submit qualitative information supporting their
projections. The report of the results of the stress test
must include, under the baseline, adverse, and severely
adverse scenarios: a description of the types of risks
included in the stress test, a summary description of the
methodologies used in the stress test, an explanation of
the most significant causes for the changes in regulatory
capital ratios, and any other information required by the
FDIC. Please see Appendix A for more details.

How to Prepare the Reports

The report includes one quarter of actual data followed
by nine quarters of projected data. The “planning
horizon” refers to the nine quarters starting with the
fourth quarter of the reporting year (e.g. from the fourth
quarter of 2013 through the fourth quarter of 2015).
Column headings will refer to each corresponding
quarter.
D. Order of Precedence
If there is a conflict in guidance, institutions should first
use the information contained in these instructions and
then the instructions available in the latest Call Report.
E. Technical Details

A. Applicability of U.S. GAAP
Institutions are required to prepare and file the FDIC
DFAST 10-50 schedules in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
these instructions.
The financial records of the
institutions should be maintained in such a manner and
scope to ensure the FDIC DFAST 10-50 report is
prepared in accordance with these instructions and
reflects a fair presentation of the institutions'
financial condition and assessment of performance
under stressed scenarios.
B. Rules of Consolidation
Respondents should reference the Call Report for
general instructions on the rules of consolidation. Unless
otherwise noted, items map directly to the respondent’s
Call Report for the actual quarterly data provided for
September 30th of the reporting year while all remaining
quarterly data over the nine-quarter horizon are based on
the institution’s quarterly projections.

The following instructions apply generally to the FDIC
DFAST 10-50 report, unless otherwise specified.
a. Report income and loss data on a quarterly basis
and not on a cumulative or year-to-date basis.
b. Ensure that any internal consistency checks are
complete prior to submission.
c. An amount or zero should generally be entered for
all items, except in those cases where other options
such as “not available” or “other” are specified. If
information is not available or not applicable and
no such options are offered, the field should be left
blank
d. MDRM codes and formulas are provided in the
"031 or 041 Call Rpt Item" column for most line
items. Definitions in the Call Report for those
items should be used.
F. Rounding
All dollar amounts must be reported in thousands, with
the figures rounded to the nearest thousand. Rounding
could result in details not adding to their stated totals.
However, to ensure consistent reporting, the rounded
detail items should be adjusted so that the totals and the
sums of their components are identical.
G. Negative Entries

3

Negative entries are generally not appropriate on the
FDIC DFAST 10-50 balance sheet and should not be
reported. Hence, assets with credit balances must be
reported in liability items and liabilities with debit
balances must be reported in asset items, as appropriate,
and in accordance with these instructions. When
negative entries do occur in one or more of these items,
they shall be recorded with a minus (-) sign rather than

in parentheses.
H. Confidentiality
As these data will be collected as part of the supervisory
process, they are subject to confidential treatment under
exemption 8 of the Freedom of Information Act (5
U.S.C. 552(b)(8)).
In addition, the information
contained in this report may be exempt from disclosure
under Exemption 4. 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4). Disclosure
determinations would be made on a case-by-case basis.
I. Amended Reports
When the FDIC’s interpretation of how GAAP or these
instructions should be applied to a specified event or
transaction (or series of related events or transactions)
differs from the reporting institution’s interpretation, the
FDIC may require the institution to reflect the event(s)
or transaction(s) in its FDIC DFAST 10-50 report in
accordance with the FDIC’s interpretation and to amend
previously submitted reports. The FDIC will consider
the materiality of such event(s) or transaction(s) in
making a determination about requiring the institution to
apply the FDIC’s interpretation and to amend previously
submitted reports.
Materiality is a qualitative
characteristic of accounting information which is
defined in FASB Concepts No. 2 as ‘‘the magnitude of
an omission or misstatement of accounting information
that, in the light of surrounding circumstances, make it
probable that the judgment of a reasonable person
relying on the information would have been changed or
influenced by the omission or misstatement.’’
The FDIC may require the filing of an amended FDIC
DFAST 10-50 report if reports as previously submitted
contain significant errors. In addition, an institution
should file an amended report when internal or external
auditors make audit adjustments that result in a
restatement of financial statements previously submitted
to the FDIC.
For further information regarding FDIC DFAST 10-50
amended reports, please see the Amended Reports
section in the general instructions of the Call Report.
If resubmissions are required, institutions should contact
the FDIC.
J. Data Items Automatically Retrieved from Other
Reports
The actual 9/30 data that is required to be submitted in
the FDIC DFAST 10-50 report may also be collected in
other reports submitted to the FDIC. If the institution4

files the other reports at the same level of consolidation
as is required for the FDIC DFAST 10-50 report, the
duplicate data items do not need to be reported and may
be left blank on the FDIC DFAST 10-50 report form.
For institutions, the data will be collected from the Call
Report.
However, the actual 9/30 data for certain line items does
not map to existing MDRM codes in the Call Report.
Institutions will need to report the actual 9/30 data for
the following line items for each scenario.
 Income statement memoranda line items 26-31, 3237, and 38-43 for all reporters.
K. Questions
Questions and requests for interpretations of matters
appearing in any part of these instructions should be
directed to the institution’s FDIC central point of
contact.

average, its forecast should be interpreted as an
average as well.

SCENARIO VARIABLES
SCHEDULE
To conduct the stress test required, an institution
m a y choose to project additional economic and
financial variables beyond the mandatory
supervisory scenarios provided to estimate losses
or revenues for some or all of its portfolios. The
FDIC expects an institution to ensure that the paths
of any additional variables (including their timing)
are consistent with the general economic
environment assumed in the supervisory scenarios.
If additional variables are used, the institution must
complete the following information for each
scenario where the institution chose to use additional
variables.
The following instructions provide
guidance for institutions that choose to use
additional scenario variables to report.



The following definitions and basis (i.e.,
period-average or period-end) of the financial
market variables were included in the 2012
mandatory supervisory scenarios and are
provided as an example for institutions to
describe any additional scenario variables used
in its stress test :
o U.S. 10-year Treasury yield: Quarterly
average of the yield on 10-year U.S.
Treasury bonds.
o U.S. mortgage rate: Quarterly average of
weekly series of Freddie Mac data.
o U.S. Dow Jones Total Stock Market Index:
End of quarter value, Dow Jones.
o U.S. Market Volatility Index (VIX):
Chicago
Board
Options
Exchange
converted to quarterly by using the
maximum value in any quarter.



For convenience, the schedule provides space for
10 additional variables per scenario, but any
number of variables may be reported, depending
on the variables actually used in the scenario.
Extra lines may be created as needed. The same
variables do not necessarily have to be included in
each scenario.



Institutions should include all economic and
financial market variables that were important in
projecting results and are in addition to those
provided by the FDIC, including those that affect
only a subset of portfolios or positions. For
example, if asset prices in a specific sector had a
meaningful impact, then the assumed level of
prices and projections should be included; or, if
bankruptcy filings affect credit card loss
estimates, then the assumed levels of these loss
estimates should be reported if used in the
projections.



Institutions should also include any variables
capturing regional or local economic or asset
value
conditions,
such
as
regional
unemployment rates or regional housing prices,
if these were used in the projections.

A. Scenario Variable Definitions
This schedule should be used to list and define the
variables used by an institution that chooses to go
beyond those variables defined in the mandatory
supervisory scenarios provided by the FDIC.


The schedule provides space for the baseline
scenario, adverse scenario, and severely
adverse scenario.
These sections must be
completed if an institution chooses to use
additional variables.



If additional variables are used beyond the
variables included in the FDIC provided
scenarios, list those variable names in the column
titled "Variable Name."



Variable definitions should be provided in the
column titled "Variable Definition." Variable
definitions should include a description of the
variable (e.g., "real GDP") and the denomination
and/or frequency of the variable (e.g., "billions
of 2005 dollars" or "in percent, average of
monthly values").



The forecasts and historical data for all of the
additional scenario variables should be
constructed on the same basis. Thus, if a
variable is, over history, constructed as an

5



Institutions should include historical data, as
well as projections, for any macroeconomic,
regional, local, or financial market variables
that are not generally available. Historical data
for these variables can be included in a separate
document.

E. DFA Stress Test Severely Adverse
Scenario
This worksheet should be used to report the values
of any additional variables generated for the DFA
stress test severely adverse scenario.

B. All Scenarios


Variable names and definitions should be
consistent throughout the worksheets in the
schedule.



List quarterly values for the variables starting
with the last realized value through the end of
the planning horizon. For the initial reporting
period, the corresponding quarters would be 3Q
2013 through 4Q 2015, respectively.



Enter all variables as levels rather than as
changes or growth rates (for example, the dollar
value of real GDP rather than the GDP
growth rate).



The Scenario Variables Schedule should be
submitted in Adobe Acrobat PDF format through
the Reporting Central application (see Where to
Submit the Report).



The Scenario Variables Schedule PDF file
should
be
titled
“ReportID_RSSD_SCENARIOVARIABLES_
MMDDYY”.
Refer to Appendix A for
additional information on the required naming
conventions of PDF files.

C. DFA Stress Test Baseline Scenario
This worksheet should be used to report the values
of any additional variables generated for the DFA
stress test baseline scenario.

D. DFA Stress Test Adverse Scenario
This worksheet should be used to report the values
of any additional variables generated for the DFA
stress test adverse scenario.

RESULTS SCHEDULES
The Results Schedules are composed of seven
supporting schedules: a Summary Schedule, which
summarizes key results from the Baseline, Adverse,
and Severely Adverse Scenarios; and supporting
schedules with Income Statement, Balance Sheet,
and Capital Statement details. Each supporting
schedule has three versions; one each for the
Baseline Scenario, the Adverse Scenario, and the
Severely Adverse Scenario.
Detailed instructions for the Income Statement,
Balance Sheet and Capital Statement schedules
follow in the sections below.

Summary Schedule
This schedule summarizes key results reported on the
Income Statement and Balance Sheet schedules for
the Baseline, Adverse, and Severely Adverse
Scenarios. No action is required by institutions to
complete this schedule as this summary data
schedule will be populated automatically from the
Income Statement and Balance Sheet schedules.

Income Statement
Schedule
For the Income Statement schedule, MDRM codes
corresponding to the related Call Report line items
are provided for many of the line items. Differences
between the FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041 are noted;
otherwise, assume that they are the same.
Respondents should report income and loss data on
a quarterly basis and not on a cumulative or year-todate basis. When applicable, the definitions of the
institution’s projections should map to the
definitions outlined by the corresponding MDRM
code within the Call Report. The institution should
include losses tied to the relevant balances
reported on the Balance Sheet Schedule.

Balance Sheet
Schedule
For the Balance Sheet schedule, MDRM codes
corresponding to the related Call Report line items
are provided for many of the line items. Unless
otherwise noted, the line items are identical for
FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041. When applicable, the
definitions of the institution's projections should
map to the definitions outlined by the
corresponding MDRM code within the Call Report.
The institution should report balances that are tied
to the relevant losses reported on the Income
Statement Schedule.

Report the amount outstanding under revolving,
open-end lines of credit secured by 1-4 family
residential properties held in domestic offices, as
defined in the Call Report, Schedule RC-C, item
1.c.(1), less relevant loans covered by loss-sharing
agreement with the FDIC (Schedule RC-M, item
13.a.(1)(c)(1)).
Line item 4 Commercial and industrial (C&I)
loans:
Report all commercial and industrial (C&I) loans, as
defined in the Call Report, Schedule RC-C, item 4
(FFIEC 041) and items 4.a and 4.b (FFIEC 031), less

with the FDIC (Schedule RC-M, item 13.a.(3)).

Line items 1 through 15 Loans

Line item 5 1-4 family construction loans:

For each scenario used, input the loan balance
projections in the various line items in this schedule,
net of any unearned income. Domestic refers to
portfolios in the domestic U.S. offices (as defined in
the Call Report), and International refers to
portfolios outside of the domestic U.S. offices.

Report loans secured by 1-4 family residential
construction loans held in domestic offices, as
defined in the Call Report, Schedule RC-C, item
1.a.(1), less relevant loans covered by loss-sharing
agreement with the FDIC (Schedule RC-M, item
13.a.(1)(a)(1)).

APPENDIX A
QUALITATIVE
SUPPORTING
INFORMATION



The “MMDDYY” should be the as-of date of the
stress test cycle (for example, 093013 for the
2013 stress test cycle).

Each institution is required under DFA stress test to
submit a summary of the qualitative information
supporting its projections. Supporting information
should include sufficient information to inform a
third party of an institution’s general approach and
assumptions, but remain summary in nature.
I n s t i t u t i o n s should provide appropriate
references to internal documents that provide more
detail on all the items to be discussed in the
submission. All institutions must submit the
completed Scenario Variables Schedule, if
applicable, and the qualitative supporting
information in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.

The purpose of the summary document is to
provide an overview of the stress testing process
as required in the agencies' final stress test rules
and as is repeated in the following sub-sections
of Appendix A. Significant detailed information
should not be included in the summary
document. Detailed documents will be requested
and reviewed as part of the supervisory process.
Sections that should be addressed in the
summary document are listed below, as well as a
description of items that should be included.

The report of the results of the stress test must
include, under the baseline, adverse, and severely
adverse scenarios:
 A description of the types of risks included in
the stress test;
 A summary description of the methodologies
used in the stress test;
 An explanation of the most significant causes
for the changes in regulatory capital ratios, and
 The use of the stress test results.

1. Summary and Governance
Executive summary, general risk overview,
including a description of the risks used in the
stress test; summary reports describing the stress
testing process, senior management and board
roles; internal governance and model risk
management practices; and any other items
related to the overall process. Each institution
should describe how senior management
provided the board of directors with sufficient
information to facilitate the board’s full
understanding of the stress testing used by the
institution for capital planning purposes and
allow for the appropriate level of challenge of
assumptions and outcomes.

Each respondent will be required to submit a file
with a summary of the qualitative supporting
information in Adobe Acrobat format. Note that if
additional scenario variables are used in the stress
test, then institutions should separately submit the
Scenario Variables Schedule (see Scenario Variables
Schedule instructions for the required naming
convention of this file). The qualitative supporting
information summary file should be titled as
“ReportID_RSSD_SUMMARY_MMDDYY”


The “RSSD” in the file name is the institution
specific identifier for a respondent.

2. Scenarios
Summary of methodology, models, and
validation activities related to the process used to
translate macro variables, including the use of
additional scenario variables, if applicable. If
additional scenario variables are used beyond the
supervisory scenario variables provided by the
Agencies, each respondent should complete the
scenario variables schedule as previously
indicated in the reporting instructions.

The “ReportID” in the file name should be as
follows for the following respondents:
o “FRY16” for BHCs, SLHCs, and SMBs
o “OCCDFAST1050” for national banks and
savings banks
o “FDICDFAST1050” for nonmember banks
and state savings banks

3. Capital

15

Summary of methodology, models, and
validation activities related to assumptions and
calculations used to calculate regulatory capital,
explanations of proposed capital actions, options
to maintain internally established capital goals on
a post-stress basis, and an explanation of causes
for changes in regulatory capital ratios. This
information should support the Balance Sheet
Schedule line items 40 to 52.
4. Loans
Summary of methodology, models, and
validation activities related to each loan portfolio
reported in total loans and leases, including the
associated ALLL. This information should
support Balance Sheet Schedule line items 1 to
16 and Income Statement Schedule line items 1
to 14.
5. Securities
Summary of methodology. models, and
validation activities related to projections of
HTM and AFS security balances, unrealized
losses, and OTTI. This information should
support Balance Sheet Schedule line items 17 to
26 and Income Statement Schedule line items 20
to 22 and 25.
6. Pre-provision Net Revenue
Summary of methodology, models, and
validation activities related to estimates of net
interest income, margins, fees, funding costs, and
related items. This information should support
Income Statement Schedule line items 15 to 18.
7. Balance Sheet
Summary of methodology, models, and
validation activities related to balance sheet
estimation, such as loan balances. This
information should support Balance Sheet
Schedule line items 1 to 39
The summary qualitative supporting documentation
should not include embedded files and should be
submitted in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. The file
size limit is 50 MB. If the file needs to be split up
into smaller files, the combined file size limit is 200
MB. When submitting multiple files in order to meet
the file size limit, the file name should indicate the
content of files submitted using the seven qualitative
supporting information summary categories

discussed above.
Example 1:
“ReportID_RSSD_SUMMARY_SUMMARY_
AND_GOVERNANCE_TO_CAPITAL_MMDDYY”;
and
“ReportID_RSSD_SUMMARY_LOANS_TO_BALAN
CE SHEET_MMDDYY”;
Example 2:
ReportID_RSSD_SUMMARY_SUMMARY_
AND_GOVERNANCE_TO_CAPITAL_MMDDYY”
and
“ReportID_RSSD_SUMMARY_LOANS_MMDDYY”
and
ReportID_RSSD_SUMMARY_SECURITIES_MMDD
YY” and “ReportID_RSSD_SUMMARY_PREPROVISION_NET_REVENUE_AND_BALANCE
SHEET_MMDDYY
etc.).

A. Description of the Types of Risks
Included in the Stress Test
For each part of the Results Schedule and the
Scenario Variables Schedule, each institution
should submit supporting qualitative information
that clearly describes the types of risks and
exposures captured in the stress test scenarios for all
lines of business and activities. This includes
information about risks that may threaten or
adversely affect the institution’s capital position
through increased losses, reduced revenues, and
changes in the balance sheet or risk- weighted
assets. The information should discuss the extent to
which risks are wholly or only partially covered by
the stress tests (for example, if not all aspects of
interest-rate risk are captured by the tests with the
given scenarios provided).

B. Summary Description of the
Methodologies used in the Stress Test
For each part of the Results Schedule and the
Scenario Variables Schedule, the institution should
submit supporting information that clearly describes
the methodology used to produce the projections.
Each institution should include a summary
description of how it translated the macroeconomic
and financial variables from the supervisory
scenarios into its projections and technical details
of any underlying statistical methods used.
Information should be provided for all elements of
the stress tests, including loss estimation, revenue

16

estimation, projections of the balance sheet and riskweighted assets, and capital levels and ratios. Where
judgment is an essential part of the projection,
each institution should describe the rationale and
magnitude, as well as the process involved to ensure
consistency of projections with scenario conditions.
Furthermore, the institution should include thorough
discussion of any material deviations from these
instructions and how they decided upon the
materiality of such deviations.
Discussion of methodologies should be consistent
with expectations in existing supervisory guidance
on stress testing issued by the Agencies. In
particular, the institution should provide a summary
of the design, theory, and logic underlying the
methodologies used.
Each
institution
should include summary
information supporting any additional scenario
variables used to conduct the DFA stress tests. The
information should detail the rationale behind
including additional scenario variables and the
process for projecting additional variables, including
the linkage with the macroeconomic and financial
scenarios provided by the FDIC.
If third-party models are used, an institution should
provide summary information about those models,
including model design, key assumptions, known
limitations, and implementation and execution.
Each institution should provide credible support for
all key assumptions used to derive loss and revenue
estimates, including assumptions related to the
components of loss, severity of loss, drivers of
revenue, and any known weaknesses in the translation
of assumptions into loss and revenue estimates. Each
institution should demonstrate that these assumptions
are clearly conditioned on the stated macroeconomic
and financial scenarios and are consistent with stated
business strategies including but not limited to
mergers, acquisitions, or divestitures of business lines
or entities and changes in strategic direction. If the
institution's models rely upon historical relationships,
describe the historical data used and clearly describe
why these relationships are expected to be maintained
in each scenario.
The impact of assumptions
concerning new growth or changes to credit policy on
forecasted loss estimates relative to historical
performance should be clearly explained.

Institutions should provide summary information on
the specific assumptions used to calculate regulatory
capital, including a discussion of any proposed capital
distributions.
When appropriate, clearly state
assumptions related to the corporate tax rate and the
evolution of the deferred tax assets. In situations
where the institution chose not to project components
of the balance sheet, those components should be held
constant at the last current level and the institution
should explain why the held constant assumption is
appropriate in the given scenario.
Each institution should submit any other summary
information and documentation necessary to
support or explain its capital calculations. For
example, an institution could show the
calculations related to the projections of the
deferred tax asset that may be disallowed for
regulatory capital purposes.
While judgment is an essential part of risk
measurement and risk management, including loss
forecasting, institutions should not be over-reliant
on judgment to prepare their loss estimations
without providing documentation or evidence of
transparency and discipline around the process.
Each institution should provide support for any
judgment applied or qualitative adjustments made
and explain how they are appropriate and in line
with scenario conditions.

C. Explanation of the Most Significant
Causes for the Changes in Regulatory
Capital Ratios
For each part of the Results Schedule and the
Scenario Variables Schedule, each institution should
provide a clear explanation of the changes in
regulatory capital ratios from the stress test scenarios
over the planning horizon. For instance, a institution
may indicate that a major component of the reduction
in regulatory capital ratios resulted from deterioration
in the quality of its retail credit exposures over the
planning horizon. The explanation should take into
account the risks identified and describe the changes
in capital by material income statement and balance
sheet statement line items affected by the stress test
scenario.

17

D. Use of Stress Test Results
Institutions should provide summary information
as to how they use these stress test results in the
normal course of business, including in the capital
planning, assessment of capital adequacy, and risk
management practices of the institution. This
summary should describe the manner in which the
stress test is used for key decisions about capital
adequacy, including capital actions and capital
contingency plans. The institution should indicate
the extent to which this stress test is used in
conjunction with other capital assessment tools,
especially if the stress test may not necessarily
capture an institution ’s full range of risks,
exposures, activities, and vulnerabilities that have the
potential to affect capital adequacy. In addition, an
institution should include summary information as
to how post-stress capital results remain aligned with
its internal capital goals. The institution should
mention any cases in which post-stress capital results
are not aligned with its internal capital goals, and
describe options that senior management and the
board would consider to bring them into alignment.
