Compliance with the CCAR stress testing regulations is a complex and expensive exercise for those banks to which it applies. Dodd-Frank Act stress testing requirements (DFAST) can be equally complex and expensive exercise if the same methodologies used for CCAR are applied to DFAST. By using a top-down approach to estimating stressed pre provision net revenue (PPNR) and net charge offs with pooled data community and medium sized commercial banks can both comply with the regulations and have a tool to assess their capital requirements not only under stressed economic conditions but alternative strategic scenarios. This methodology is distinguished from other models currently in the marketplace by being: statistically driven; using a minimum of judgmental assumptions; and eliminates the need for banks to incur costly data/IT projects.
