		<description><![CDATA[The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland today announced the final rules for Basel III, a new global regulatory framework for banks. Building on the foundation of Basel II and similar to Solvency II in terms of focus on ensuring capital adequacy, Basel III also creates the perfect storm in terms of spreadsheet and end-user computing (EUC) risk.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=endusercomputing.org&amp;blog=6706171&amp;post=586&amp;subd=prodiance&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Solvency II &#38; Spreadsheets: Many EU firms are seeking approval to use their own internal model (vs. the standard model, e.g. Lloyds). Internal models provide an opportunity to tailor capital requirements given the proper internal controls and governance processes are in place. Many firms are using spreadsheets for solvency, financial and actuarial models. As such, regulators (including the FSA, CEIOPS, etc.) will be more likely to approve use of internal models if they are accurate and managed in a controlled environment.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=endusercomputing.org&amp;blog=6706171&amp;post=556&amp;subd=prodiance&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
