ILSA Final Guidance

Published: 29th April 2011 by William Webster

It's the 5th May 2011 and I've just received an email from the FSA reminding me that the Individual Liquidity Systems Assessment (ILSA) Finalised Guidance is now available. This may not mean much to you. That's unless you fall under the simplified liquidity regime in the UK. The FSA's guidance is about what they expect to see and the good news is it's a far better document than its predecessors. So what does the FSA expect?

Regulation > Consultation Paper 08/22 Strengthening liquidity standards December 2008

31st January 2009

This CP sets out the FSA's plans to reform the liquidity regime. It requires firms to undertake a much more rigorous analysis of their liquidity position. This includes the effect of stressed conditions on their business. The firm will submit what it considers to be an appropriate liquidity buffer to the regulator. The FSA will then decide whether it is sufficient. In determining the buffer the FSA will also assess the firm's systems and management. If these are considered weak the buffer will be increased accordingly. The liquidity buffer can only be held in liquid assets. The FSA's view is that this primarily means Gilts, sovereign debt or central bank deposits. The FSA makes it clear, "The responsibility of adopting a sound approach to liquidity risk management is on firms and their senior management".
