KPMG iRADAR

The continuous development of legal provisions (e.g. EMIR, MiFid II, AIFMD) and accounting standards (e.g. IFRS 13, IFRS 9) is leading to new, increasingly complex requirements on both the buy-side and the sell-side.

In addition, financial institutions are confronted with a new market environment with which market participants have very little or no experience to date (e.g. prolonged low interest rate environment). This is another reason why supervisory authorities and stakeholders are calling for more transparency.

In recent years, it has been observed that financial institutions are fully digitalising business processes and further expanding the integration of third parties in order to remain competitive in an increasingly cost-oriented environment. As a result, dependency on third-party providers continues to grow, while financial institutions remain responsible for the services provided by third-party providers.

With KPMG iRADAR, KPMG has a market-leading platform that offers a wide range of services to support financial institutions in successfully overcoming the aforementioned challenges.

Our solution portfolio

Model Validation

Appropriate and market-standard valuation and risk models are crucial for the assessment and management of your financial instruments. Our model validation service provides you with an independent review of the theoretical and practical appropriateness of the models used as well as insights into the market via our peer group benchmarking.
Audit of disclosures in the annual report (e.g. IFRS 9, IFRS 13)

An independent audit of the information you provide in your annual financial statements regarding your financial instruments increases your credibility for external stakeholders, including existing and potential investors.
Process benchmarking

Our scoring-based analysis of business processes enables a quantitative assessment of the process and control landscape as well as benchmarking of processes against best practice approaches. Together with our experts, you can identify potential inefficiencies and potential for improvement and use this to determine customised solutions for your company.
Target Fund Hub

Comprehensive statutory reporting obligations in relation to target funds and the challenge of presenting this through a cost-efficient process have repeatedly posed new questions for financial institutions in recent years. With our Target Fund Hub service, we at KPMG take over the data procurement process and compile the relevant data (e.g. GroMiKv, Solvency II, etc.) in an aggregated, quality-assured and timely manner for further processing.
Performance verification - GIPS®

Transparent and externally verified performance is crucial for attracting new capital from investors. Therefore, KPMG offers iRADAR verifications with a focus on portfolio performance. Based on our extensive market expertise in this area, we support you in setting up a GIPS®-compliant environment or conduct regular GIPS® verifications.
XVA-Assurance

With our XVA assurance service, we offer you a comprehensive review of your XVA calculation using the latest modelling techniques and benchmarking analyses with regard to your XVA methodology.
IFRS 9 SPPI

Ensuring compliance with the new IFRS 9 classification and measurement requirements is essential for both investors and regulators. With the help of our market-leading IFRS 9 SPPI solution, we offer you the opportunity to analyse your financial instruments efficiently and with the necessary technical expertise and thus obtain the necessary certainty about your classification.
Valuation Assurance

KPMG's offer of valuation assurance for your financial instruments meets the transparency requirements of internal and external stakeholders and supports the quality and standardisation of the valuation of your financial instruments.
AEC+ & NPP

Legal and tax requirements impose restrictions on the admissibility of financial instruments for investment funds. KPMG iRADAR offers you pre/post screening for your financial instruments on an ad-hoc or regular basis with regard to the question of admissibility.
Trade Analytics

The Trade Analytics Service enables you to analyse your trading activities and thus also offers more transparency with regard to your business partners, traders, prices and costs. This unique tool supports you in complying with new legal regulations such as MiFiD/MiFIR and also strengthens your trading desk compliance and risk management function.
