EQUITY19.01 Capital Management and Regulatory CapitalOn January 15, 2009, the BSP issued Circular No. 639 articulating the need for Banks to adoptand document an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). All universal andcommercial banks are expected to perform a thorough assessment of all their material risksand maintain adequate capital to support these risks. This is intended to complement thecurrent regulatory capital requirement of at least 10% of risk assets, which covered only credit,market and operational risks. On December 29, 2009, BSP issued Circular No. 677 effectivelyextending the implemention of ICAAP from January 2010 to January <strong>2011</strong>.In October 2009, the <strong>BDO</strong> Unibank Group presented its ICAAP and submitted the initialdraft of its ICAAP document to the BSP. Based on comments from the BSP,<strong>BDO</strong> Unibank Group subsequently revised its ICAAP document and secured approval fromits BOD on January 8, <strong>2011</strong>.The ICAAP document articulates the <strong>BDO</strong> Unibank Group’s capital planning strategy anddiscusses governance, risk assessment, capital assessment and planning, capital adequacymonitoring and reporting, as well as internal control reviews.
