Stress testing is the key supervisory tool for assessing the resilience of credit institutions. Under Basel III and CRR III, banks must conduct both supervisory EBA/ECB stress tests and internal ICAAP and ILAAP stress tests — using historical, hypothetical and reverse scenarios. ADVISORI supports over 20 institutions with scenario development, methodology implementation and capital planning in the stress testing context.

Choose the area that fits your requirements
The Basel III capital adequacy ratio defines the minimum capital banks must hold relative to their risk-weighted assets (RWA): 4.5% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), 6% Tier 1 capital and 8% total capital plus a 2.5% capital conservation buffer. We support you with precise CAR calculation, capital structure optimization and full CRR/CRD compliance — from RWA calibration to automated regulatory reporting.
The capital conservation buffer under Basel III requires institutions to hold an additional 2.5% of risk-weighted assets in Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital. When the buffer is breached, automatic distribution restrictions apply to dividends, bonuses, and share buybacks. We support banks with CRR-compliant buffer calculation, capital planning under stress scenarios, and strategic optimisation of capital structure — from initial implementation to ongoing monitoring.
The countercyclical capital buffer protects the financial system against systemic risks from excessive credit growth. With buffer rates varying across jurisdictions — currently 0.75% in Germany — banks face complex requirements: Credit-to-GDP gap calculation, institution-specific weighted-average buffer rates across country exposures, and regulatory reporting obligations. ADVISORI supports you with end-to-end CCyB implementation — from data integration and automated buffer calculation to supervisory reporting.
CRR III tightens credit risk modeling requirements: The output floor limits IRB capital benefits from 2025, phasing in to 72.5% of the standardized approach by 2030. Institutions must calibrate PD, LGD, and EAD parameters per EBA guidelines, comply with LGD input floors, and maintain the revised standardized approach (SA) as a fallback. We support IRB model development, parameter estimation, model validation, and the strategic assessment between F-IRB, A-IRB, and SA — optimizing capital efficiency under the new regulatory framework.
The implementation of Basel III in Germany through CRR III (effective January 2025) and CRD VI (from January 2026) fundamentally changes capital requirements, credit risk calculation and operational risk management. ADVISORI supports German banks with full integration of BaFin requirements, KWG amendments and European regulations — from output floor through Pillar III disclosure to ESG risk strategy.
The finalization of Basel III through CRR III (EU 2024/1623) and CRD VI (EU 2024/1619) fundamentally transforms capital requirements, risk calculation, and disclosure obligations for European banks. CRR III has been in effect since 1 January 2025, with CRD VI following on 11 January 2026. ADVISORI supports financial institutions in the structured implementation of all requirements — from the output floor and the revised credit risk standardized approach to ESG disclosure.
The Basel III implementation timeline encompasses numerous regulatory milestones: CRR III (EU 2024/1623) has been effective since 1 January 2025, CRD VI (EU 2024/1619) applies from January 2026, and the output floor rises incrementally from 50% to 72.5% by 2030. Additionally, FRTB takes effect in 2026, new reporting deadlines start from March 2025, and transition periods extend to 2032. ADVISORI supports banks in meeting every milestone on schedule – from gap analysis and IT integration to regulatory reporting.
The IRB approach (Internal Ratings-Based Approach) enables institutions to use their own risk models for calculating regulatory capital requirements. We support the choice between Foundation IRB and Advanced IRB, PD, LGD and EAD estimation, regulatory approval and adaptation to CRR III including the output floor from 2025.
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is the key metric of Basel III liquidity regulation. It ensures institutions hold sufficient high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) to survive a 30-day stress period. We support you with LCR calculation, HQLA optimization, and regulatory reporting — practical and efficient.
The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) fundamentally overhauls the market risk framework — with tightened requirements for the Standardised Approach, Internal Models Approach and trading book/banking book boundary. CRR3 implementation in the EU is approaching, requiring structured preparation: from Expected Shortfall calculation and sensitivity analysis to P&L attribution. ADVISORI guides banks through timely FRTB implementation — methodologically sound, audit-ready and with a clear focus on capital efficiency.
The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is the key structural liquidity metric under Basel III, requiring banks to maintain a minimum ratio of 100% between Available Stable Funding (ASF) and Required Stable Funding (RSF). ADVISORI supports financial institutions with precise NSFR calculation, ASF and RSF factor optimization, and full CRR II compliance under Article 428.
Basel III compliance does not end with initial implementation. Regulatory changes through CRR III, tightened reporting obligations, and ongoing supervisory reviews demand systematic compliance monitoring. We establish sustainable governance structures, automated monitoring processes, and proactive regulatory change management for your institution — so you identify regulatory risks early and remain continuously compliant.
CRR III replaces BIA, STA and AMA with a single Standardised Measurement Approach (SMA) for operational risk. Banks must calculate the Business Indicator, build loss databases and meet new reporting requirements — with expected capital increases of 5-30%. ADVISORI guides you from gap analysis through BI calibration to supervisory-compliant implementation with proven capital optimisation.
