4. Are stress tests and scenario analysis conducted on your organization wide basis, taking into account the effects of unusual changes in market and non market risk factors?

6. Are there clear links between your strategic risk map, your stress testing and the contingent liabilities that appear in your asset and liability register?
   
   

7. Is there a process whereby significant concentration risk, exceptions to portfolio limits and stress testing results are reported to the proper authority?
   
   

8. Do you conduct scenario analyses and stress tests to determine quantitatively how potential outcomes of different hedge strategies compare to objectives?
   
   

9. Are models and supporting statistical analysis used in valuations and stress tests appropriate, consistently applied, and have reasonable assumptions?
