| This is a self-assessment prepared by the Financial Services Board to provide guidance for firms in their preparation for TCF implementation. This is not necessarily the basis upon which the FSB will conduct its on-site or off-site supervision, however. Questions differ slightly depending on which of the above categories you select (These questions are highlighted in light grey in the different sheets). If your firm falls under more than one category, please select the category that you regard as the main focus of your business. Alternatively, you may wish to complete the self-assessment more than once (i.e. separately for each relevant category), to compare your TCF readiness in different capacities Each of the accompanying spreadsheets that form part of this Excel file - and that are listed in the Index below - relate to the six TCF outcomes. Please complete each spreadsheet to obtain an overall assessment. Ratings of "0" to "4" have been assigned to each question. The rating schedule is as follows: "0" - Not applicable. "1" - No, we don't do this "2" - Informal or implicit in what we do "3" - Consistently, but we don't monitor / control the process on an ongoing basis "4" - Yes, fully embedded in our business. We have explicit controls / ongoing monitoring and MI Note that the spreadsheets have been set up in such a manner that you can only select one of these ratings for each question. These "entry cells" also include data validation that prevents you from entering values that are out of range. If you believe that certain questions do not apply to your operations, you may select "0". In addition, Outcomes 2-6 have 2 additional questions which take on the answer Yes or No. |
