Join the Quality Assurance team that consists of 5 people and reports into the Head of Regulatory Reporting in Finance. The team is responsible for providing assurance over the capital calculations of the UK and EU regulated entities under the CRR (Capital

Regulation) and IFPR (Investment Firm Prudential Regime). Working alongside the Reporting, Capital Product (Change) and Capital Policy teams, the Quality Assurance team performs targeted reviews to substantively test the existing regulatory implementations. Topics in scope include RWA, Leverage and Large Exposure calculations, as well as IFPR calculations. The team is also responsible for reviewing new implementation requirements before they go live such as CRR3 / Basel 3.1.

The team also provides technical support to the Reporting team in several ways.
