As well as core market risk management functions, this includes improving the accuracy of measurement of CVA (and other XVA), extending the existing process across a wider range of products, implementing a consistent framework for measuring and managing the associated risks, and integrating the CVA into the overall market and counterparty risk framework. This involves working with trading desks and their respective quantitative and IT groups and financial controllers to enhance their current measurement methodology and ensure effective delivery to the firm's risk systems to enable active risk management of the exposure. It will also involve working with other parts of the Risk organization to improve the accuracy of regulatory reporting, including stress testing and capital adequacy processes.

The introduction of Federal Reserve's Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) annual stress-testing exercise (with similar initiatives by the other regional regulators) and the 'CVA Variability Charge' in the Basel III capital regime has added further to the relevance of robust CVA risk management and technical capabilities.
