Operational risk

Operational risk is the potential for loss arising from the failure of people, process or technology or the impact of external events. Operational risk exposures are managed through a consistent set of management processes that drive risk identification, assessment, control and monitoring. We seek to control operational risks to ensure that operational losses do not cause material damage to the Group's franchise.

Operational risks can arise from all business lines and from all activities carried out by the Group. We seek to systematically identify and manage operational risk by segmenting all the Group's activities into manageable units. Each of these has an owner who is responsible for identifying and managing all the risks that arise from those activities as an integral part of their First Line responsibilities. Products and services offered to clients and customers in all our markets are also assessed and authorised in accordance with product governance procedures.

Although operational risk exposures can take many varied forms, we seek to manage them in accordance with standards that drive systematic risk identification, assessment, control and monitoring. These standards are challenged and reviewed regularly to ensure their ongoing effectiveness. To support the systematic identification of material operational risk exposures associated with a given process, we classify them into the following types:


Operational Risk Subtypes
Processing failure	Potential for loss due to failure of an established process or to a process design weakness
External Rules & Regulations	Potential for actual or opportunity loss due to failure to comply with laws or regulations, or as a result of changes in laws or regulations or in their interpretation or application
Liability	Potential for loss or sanction due to a legal claim against any part of the Group or individuals within the Group
Legal enforceability	Potential for loss due to failure to protect legally the Group's interests or from difficulty in enforcing the Group's rights
Damage to assets	Potential for loss or damage to physical assets and other property from natural disaster and other events
Safety and security	Potential for loss or damage to health or safety of staff, customers or third parties arising from internal failures or the effects of external events
Internal crime or dishonesty	Potential for loss due to action by staff that is intended to defraud, misappropriate property or to circumvent the law or company policy
External crime	Potential for loss due to criminal acts by external parties such as fraud, theft and other criminal activity including internet crime
Model	Potential for loss due to a significant discrepancy between the output of risk measurement models and actual experience

Identified operational risk exposures are rated 'Low', 'Medium', 'High' or 'Very High' in accordance with defined risk assessment criteria. Risks which are outside of set materiality thresholds receive a differential level of management attention and are reported to senior management and risk committees up to Board level. Significant external events or internal failures which have occurred are analysed to identify the root cause of any failure for remediation and future mitigation. Actual operational losses are systematically recorded.

In the Second Line of Defence, Group Operational Risk is responsible for setting and maintaining the standards for operational risk management and control. In addition, specialist operational risk control owners have responsibility for the control of operational risk arising from the management of the following activities Group-wide: people, technology, vendor, property, security, accounting and financial control, tax, legal processes, corporate authorities and structure and regulatory compliance, as described further in the table below.

Operational risk control area
People Management	Recruiting, developing, compensating and managing employees
Technology Management	Developing, maintaining and using information technology, and information security
Vendor Management	Procurement, licensing, outsourcing and supplier management
Property Management	Managing property assets, projects and facilities.
Security Management	Protecting the security of staff and customers
Regulatory Compliance	Maintaining relationships with regulators, evidencing compliance with banking and securities regulations and managing regulatory change
Legal processes	Effective documentation of material transactions and other material contractual agreements, controlling the rights pertaining to material assets of the Group, and managing material claims and legal disputes
Accounting & Financial Control	Financial and management accounting, associated reporting and financial control
Tax management	Maintaining relationships with tax authorities and managing the Group's tax affairs to ensure compliance with our obligations
Corporate authorities & structure	Maintaining effective corporate legal entity structure and corporate decision making authorities

Each risk control owner, supported by a specialist control function, is responsible for identifying risks that are material to the Group and for maintaining an effective control environment, across the whole organisation. This includes defining appropriate policies for approval by authorised risk committees, that impose specific controls and constraints on the Group's activities.

The Group Operational Risk Committee, chaired by the GCRO, oversees the management of operational risks across the Group, supported by business, functional, and country-level committees. All operational risk committees operate on the basis of a defined structure of delegated authorities and terms of reference, derived from the GRC.

At the Group level, the Group Financial Crime Risk Committee provides direct oversight of operational risk relating to compliance with financial crime laws and regulations. The Committee takes its authority directly from the GRC, providing additional oversight of these risks. Close alignment is maintained with the Group Operational Risk Committee through overlap in membership and reporting.

Reputational risk

Reputational risk is the potential for damage to the Group's franchise, resulting in loss of earnings or adverse impact on market capitalisation as a result of stakeholders taking a negative view of the Group or its actions.

Reputational risk could arise from the failure of the Group to effectively mitigate the risks in its businesses including one or more of country, credit, liquidity, market, regulatory, legal or other operational risk. Damage to the Group's reputation could cause existing clients to reduce or cease to do business with the Group and prospective clients to be reluctant to do business with the Group. All employees are responsible for day to day identification and management of reputational risk. These responsibilities form part of the Group Code of Conduct and are further embedded through values-based performance assessments.

Reputational risk may also arise from a failure to comply with environmental and social standards. Our primary environmental and social impacts arise through our relationship with our clients and customers and the financing decisions we take. We have published a series of position statements which we apply in the provision of financial services to clients who operate in sectors with specific risks, and for key issues. We have mechanisms in our origination and credit processes to identify and assess environmental and social risks, and dedicated Sustainable Finance teams who review proposed transactions with identified risks.

The GRC provides Group-wide oversight on reputational risk, sets policy and monitors material risks. The Group Head of Corporate Affairs is the overall risk control owner for reputational risk. The BVC and BRC provide additional oversight of reputational risk on behalf of the Board

At the business level, Responsibility and Reputational Risk Committees have responsibility for managing reputational risk.

At country level, the Country Head of Corporate Affairs is the risk control owner of reputational risk. It is his or her responsibility to protect our reputation in that market with the support of the country management team. The Head of Corporate Affairs and Country Chief Executive Officer must actively:

· Promote awareness and application of our policies and procedures regarding reputational risk

· Encourage business and functions to take account of our reputation in all decision-making, including dealings with customers and suppliers

· Implement effective in-country reporting systems to ensure they are aware of all potential issues in tandem with respective business committees

· Promote effective, proactive stakeholder management through ongoing engagement.

Pension risk

Pension risk is the potential for loss due to having to meet an actuarially assessed shortfall in the Group's pension schemes. The risk assessment is focused on our obligations towards our major pension schemes, ensuring that our funding obligation to these schemes is comfortably within our financial capacity. Pension risk is monitored quarterly.

The Group Pension Risk Committee is the body responsible for governance of pension risk and it receives its authority from GRC.

Standard Chartered PLC - Capital

Capital management

Our approach to capital management is to maintain a strong capital base to support the development of our business, to meet regulatory capital requirements at all times and to maintain strong credit ratings.

Strategic, business and capital plans are drawn up annually covering a five-year horizon and are approved by the Board. The capital plan ensures that adequate levels of capital and an optimum mix of the different components of capital are maintained to support our strategy. Group Treasury is responsible for the ongoing assessment of the demand for capital and the updating of the Group's capital plan. The capital plan takes the following into account:

· Current regulatory capital requirements and our assessment of future standards

· Demand for capital due to business growth forecasts, loan impairment outlook and market shocks or stresses

· Forecast demand for capital to support credit ratings

· Available supply of capital and capital raising options

The Group formulates a capital plan with the help of internal models and other quantitative techniques. The Group uses a capital model to assess the capital demand for material risks, and supports this with our internal capital adequacy assessment. Other internal models help to estimate potential future losses arising from credit, market and other risks, and using regulatory formulae, the amount of capital required to support them. In addition, the models enable the Group to gain an enhanced understanding of its risk profile, for example, by identifying potential concentrations and assessing the impact of portfolio management actions. Stress testing and scenario analysis are an integral part of capital planning, and are used to ensure that the Group's internal capital adequacy assessment considers the impact of extreme but plausible scenarios on its risk profile and capital position. They provide an insight into the potential impact of significant adverse events and how these could be mitigated through appropriate management actions. The capital modelling process is a key part of our management discipline.

A strong governance and process framework is embedded in our capital planning and assessment methodology. The key capital management committees are the Group Asset and Liability Committee (GALCO) and the Capital Management Committee (CMC). The members of the GALCO include all the Group Executive Directors, the Group Chief Risk Officer and senior attendees from Group Treasury, Finance, Risk and the business. The GALCO regularly reviews the capital plan and approves capital management policies and guidelines. The CMC oversees the tactical management of the Group's capital position and provides a bridge to GALCO's strategic management of the Group's capital position. The GALCO delegates certain authorities to CMC in relation to capital management.

The Group's capital position, including its relationship to the Group's risk appetite statement, is regularly considered by the Board Risk Committee (BRC). Further details of the BRC's activities in relation to capital are available in the Corporate Governance section on page 143. At a country level, capital is monitored by the Country Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO). Appropriate policies are in place governing the transfer of capital within the Group.

Current compliance with Capital Adequacy Regulations

In light of the uncertain economic environment and continuing uncertainty as to the end state for banks' regulatory capital structures, the Group continues to believe it is appropriate to remain both strongly capitalised and well above regulatory requirements.

On 1 April 2013, the UK FSA ceased to exist and from that date, Standard Chartered Bank was authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the PRA.

The capital that we are required to hold by the PRA is determined by our balance sheet, off-balance sheet, counterparty and other risk exposures. Further detail on counterparty and risk exposures is included in the Risk review on pages 33 to 34.

Capital in branches and subsidiaries is maintained on the basis of host regulators' requirements and the Group's assessment of capital requirements under normal and stress conditions. Suitable processes and controls are in place to monitor and manage capital adequacy and ensure compliance with local regulatory ratios in all our legal entities. These processes are designed to ensure that we have sufficient capital available to meet local regulatory capital requirements at all times.

The table on page 89 summarises the consolidated capital position of the Group.

Basel II

The Group complies with the Basel II framework, which has been implemented in the UK through the PRA's General Prudential Sourcebook and its Prudential Sourcebook for Banks, Building Societies and Investment Firms.

Since 1 January 2008, we have been using the advanced Internal Ratings Based (IRB) approach for the calculation of credit risk capital requirements with the approval of our relevant regulators. This approach builds on our risk management practices and is the result of a significant investment in data warehousing and risk models. We use Value at Risk (VaR) models for the calculation of market risk capital requirements for part of our trading book exposures where permission to use such models has been granted by our relevant regulators. Where our market risk exposures are not approved for inclusion in VaR models, the capital requirements are determined using standard rules provided by the relevant regulator. We apply the Standardised Approach for determining the capital requirements for operational risk.

The Group uses IRB models to calculate certain regulatory capital requirements. The Group's models are subject to initial approval, and ongoing supervision by its regulators. The Group believes that the overall performance of its models has been, and continues to be, very conservative. Recently, the PRA has revised its philosophy and approach towards the use and calibration of IRB models. Consequently, the Group is currently in discussions with the PRA regarding changes to some of its IRB models. Whilst the outcome of these discussions and the timetable for implementing any such changes is not fully finalised, the Group currently expects the PRA to require changes in 2014. These include changes to the calculation of Exposure At Default (EAD) and the introduction of Loss Given Default (LGD) floors based on the Foundation Approach for certain exposures where the country-specific default experience is not deemed sufficient for modelling purposes, resulting in an increase in the risk-weighted requirements calculated by such models. The Group expects these PRA requirements will, in part, be offset by model efficiencies, regulatory approvals of new IRB models and other management mitigating actions. The

continued

Group's Pillar 3 Disclosures illustrate both the conservative nature of the Group's models and their robust performance over recent years. The Group currently estimates that the net impact of such model changes in 2014 will be a reduction in the Group's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio on a pro forma basis of between 30 and 50bps.

CRD IV

The Financial Policy Committee (FPC) announced in March 2013 that the PRA should take action to ensure that the level of CET1 capital held by UK banks was above 7 per cent following any required adjustments to reflect a "proper valuation of their assets", "a realistic assessment of future conduct costs" and "a prudent calculation of risk weights." The PRA published the results of this exercise on 20 June 2013, confirming that the Group exceeded the 7 per cent CET1 target set by the FPC for the purposes of the exercise and, therefore, did not have a capital shortfall and had no action to take on its capital position.

The final text of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) and the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) which together comprise CRD IV were published in the EU Official Journal on 27 June 2013. In Policy Statement PS7/13, the PRA finalised its approach to implementation of the CRD IV rules in December 2013 to come into effect on 1 January 2014. The PRA's approach accelerates a number of aspects of CRD IV where there is national discretion to do so, particularly in relation to the definition of CET1.

Notwithstanding the development of the CRD IV rules during 2013, the final CRD IV outcome remains uncertain. A number of areas of CRD IV are subject to further consultation or await promulgation of the relevant European Banking Authority (EBA) Technical Standards and UK implementing rules. Further, the CRD leaves considerable scope for national discretion to be applied.

G-SIB

On 11 November 2013, the FSB published an updated list of global systemically important banks (G-SIBs), using December 2012 data and an updated assessment methodology published by the BCBS in July 2013. The Group retained its classification as a G-SIB with a 1 per cent additional CET1 requirement. We understand that the PRA have applied a "supervisory judgement" overlay resulting in the Group's classification as a G-SIB. G-SIBs will be required to hold an additional CET1 buffer. If the Group remains a G-SIB in November 2014, its related CET1 requirement will be phased in from 1 January 2016 to 1 January 2019. The EBA is currently consulting on technical standards relating to the identification of, and disclosure requirements for, G-SIBs.

Capital buffers

CRD IV contains provisions for a number of additional capital buffers and the following comments are based on the Group's current understanding of the rules.

A capital conservation buffer (CCB) of 2.5 per cent CET1 will be phased in from 1 January 2016 to 1 January 2019. The CCB is intended to provide an additional level of capital available to absorb unexpected losses during a period of stress.

A potential countercyclical buffer (CCyB) requirement of up to 2.5 per cent will be phased in from 1 January 2016 to 1 January 2019. The CCyB is intended to be used by authorities to restrain the pace of credit growth and leverage by increasing the levels of CET1 a bank is required to hold during periods of strong economic activity.

A systemic risk buffer (SRB) may be imposed by national authorities to mitigate perceived systemic risk posed by one or more financial institutions in the relevant jurisdictions. If required, the SRB will be set in CET1 at a minimum level of 1 per cent of the exposures giving rise to the SRB. The rules relating to the SRB and its calibration are not yet finalised.

Final capital requirements will not be uniform across the sector. Each institution is expected to have a specific minimum requirement based on its particular business and risk profile as implemented through a variety of tools including: Pillar 2A requirements, PRA buffers, buffers for global or domestic systemically important banks, countercyclical buffers, systemic risk buffers and, potentially, other macro prudential tools. Consequently, it is not possible to determine precisely what the Group's final capital requirements may be or the ultimate impact of the various regulatory initiatives on the Group's capital position.

Pillar 2

In December 2013, the PRA published amendments to the current Pillar 2 regime. In addition to Pillar 1 capital requirements, the Group, like other UK banks, currently holds capital in respect of its Pillar 2 risks. Pillar 2 comprises:

· An Individual Capital Guidance (ICG or Pillar 2A buffer) for risks not covered or adequately addressed by Pillar 1 capital requirements (including for example: pension risk, interest rate risk, concentration risk and operational risk).

· A Capital Planning Buffer (CPB or Pillar 2B buffer) to ensure the Group remains well capitalised in a stressed environment.

Going forward, the Group will expect to hold capital under Pillar 2 in addition to Pillar 1 requirements as follows:

· From 1 January 2015, the Group must hold at least 56 per cent of its Pillar 2A buffer in CET1.

· From 1 January 2016, the PRA Buffer Assessment will take into account the CCB, and any G-SIB and SRB. A further CET1 component could be added to the extent that the PRA do not consider that these buffers are sufficient to cover the Group's risks. The PRA have announced they intend to consult in 2014 on the transition to the new regime.

Based on the Group's 2013 ICG and its current understanding of the rules, the Group's total Pillar 2A guidance on a pro forma basis is 0.7 per cent of required total capital. Assuming that the Group meets its Pillar 2A guidance to the extent possible with Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital, the Group's Pillar 2A CET1 requirement is approximately 40bps. The Group's Pillar 2A guidance is usually considered with the PRA annually and so would be expected to vary over time.

Primary loss absorbing capacity (PLAC)

Based on its current understanding of the draft rules, the Group estimates that as at 31 December 2013 its PLAC level is around 23 per cent of risk-weighted assets (RWA). This figure includes senior liabilities with at least one year to maturity and that part of subordinated debt that is amortised for regulatory capital purposes over the last five years of the relevant instrument's duration (with at least one year remaining to maturity) and therefore outside the scope of regulatory capital recognition.

RWA grew by $20.4 billion, or 7 per cent, compared to 31 December 2012, with an increase in Wholesale Banking (WB) of $20.1 billion and $0.3 billion in Consumer Banking (CB). WB RWA growth was mainly in Americas, UK & Europe, Singapore and Other Asia Pacific region. CB growth in Hong Kong, Africa, and Middle East and Other South Asia was partly offset by an RWA decline in Singapore. Growth in Other Asia Pacific region was due to the Group now fully consolidating its Permata joint venture for regulatory purposes and this change in methodology increased RWA by $6.9 billion, of which $4.6 billion was in WB (credit risk $4.4 billion, operational risk $0.2 billion) and $2.3 billion in CB (credit risk $2 billion, operational risk $0.3 billion).

WB credit risk RWA increased by $19.9 billion. Excluding the impact of fully consolidating Permata as highlighted above, the increase was $15.5 billion. This was driven by asset growth of $16 billion across Transaction Banking, Financial Markets and Corporate Finance. Additionally, due to downgrades especially in the Americas, UK & Europe region, the impact of negative credit migration was $9.2 billion. These increases were partially offset by RWA efficiencies ($2.1 billion), methodology changes ($3.4 billion) and the foreign currency translation impact ($4.2 billion) due to the appreciation of the US dollar relative to local currencies in some of our footprint markets.

CB credit risk RWA fell by $0.7 billion. Excluding the impact of fully consolidating Permata, the underlying drop in RWA was $2.7 billion. Asset growth across SME, Wealth Management, Credit Cards and Personal Loans of $1.7 billion was more than offset through RWA efficiencies, in particular through better collateral management. The drop was, therefore, primarily driven by the foreign currency translation impact due to the appreciation of the US dollar relative to local currencies in some of our footprint markets.

As at 31 December 2013 market risk RWA was $23.1 billion compared to $24.5 billion at 31 December 2012. The decrease in market risk RWA is primarily due to a reduction in CAD2 internal model positions, covering foreign exchange and structured products. Positions outside the CAD2 permission continue to be assessed according to standard PRA rules. Of the total market risk RWA, 29 per cent is subject to CAD2 internal models and 71 per cent is under standard rules.

Operational risk RWA increased by $2.5 billion, or 8 per cent. This is primarily determined by the change in income over a rolling three-year time horizon. The growth reflects the strong performance of the Group over that period and the methodology change for the Group's Permata joint venture in the Other Asia Pacific region.

CRD IV estimate

The CRD IV position presented here, derived in accordance with the Group's current understanding of the final CRD IV rules, does not constitute either a capital or RWA forecast and may be subject to change.

The Group's current view of its CRD IV CET1 ratio on a pro forma transitional basis (as at 1 January 2014) is 10.9 per cent. The CRD IV impact is due to both increased regulatory deductions from CET1 capital (particularly the full and unsheltered deduction for excess expected losses relative to provisions and the deduction of certain deferred tax assets) and additional RWA (particularly in relation to credit valuation adjustments (CVA)).

The Group's current view of its CRD IV CET1 ratio on a pro forma end point basis is 11.2 per cent which reflects (a) the impact of estimated mitigation of the CVA RWA increase through use of internal models (subject to regulatory approval) and increased central clearing of certain derivatives and (b) the inclusion of unrealised gains on available for sale equity securities in the end point calculation which are expected to be recognised from 2015 onwards.

The CRR and the proposed EBA final technical standards on own funds refer to the deduction of foreseeable dividends when calculating CET1 in certain circumstances. The impact of the deduction of the final proposed dividend for 2013 of $1,385 million from the Group's CET1 calculation would be around 40bps which reduces to around 30bps assuming a 25 per cent scrip dividend take up.

In November 2013, the PRA set out its target for large UK institutions of 7 per cent CET1 and a 3 per cent leverage ratio from 1 January 2014, the latter excluding non CRR compliant hybrid capital and both measures taking into account adjustments to RWA and capital deemed necessary by the PRA (in line with those communicated by the PRA as part of the 20 June 2013 capital exercise). The Group exceeds both of these requirements.

Future Capital Requirements

As the relevant legislation and rules are not yet fully implemented it is not possible to predict the Group's final capital requirements. The actual outcome also depends in part on the future shape of the Group, future management actions and the future view taken by its regulators as to the Group's business and risk profile. Based on the Group's current understanding of the rules, a minimum CET1 capital requirement can be identified as follows:

· a minimum CET1 requirement of 4.5 per cent by 1 January 2015

· a CCB of 2.5 per cent by 1 January 2019

· a G-SIB buffer of 1 per cent by 1 January 2019

Following PS 7/13, the PRA requires at least 56 per cent of the Group's Pillar 2A guidance to be held in CET1. Based on its current ICG, the Group currently estimates a Pillar 2A CET1 addition of around 0.4 per cent which is subject to annual review by the PRA. This results in a minimum CET1 requirement of around 8.4 per cent. The Group's current CET1 position significantly and materially exceeds this requirement. The Group would also expect to continue to operate at all times with a prudent management buffer above minimum capital requirements. The UK authorities have yet to finalise the rules relating to, and calibration of, the CCyB, SRB, PRA Buffer and additional sectoral capital requirements.
The Group starts in a notably strong position: diverse, well capitalised, highly liquid and with a conservative approach to balance sheet management. The Group currently operates at capital levels materially above the current minimum requirements and, additionally, has a number of levers at its disposal to manage future regulatory requirements (e.g. IRB model adjustments, CRD IV buffers, Pillar 2 guidance, PRA buffers or sectoral capital requirements) as they finalise or emerge over the next few years. In this context, the Group introduced at its Investor Day in November 2013, a new financial metric of managing RWA growth to a level below that of earnings growth, which provides additional conservatism. This is intended to ensure that the Group achieves, and maintains, an accretive capital trajectory over the medium-term, which places it strongly to accommodate both future growth and potentially higher, if they emerge, regulatory capital requirements.

Notes to the financial statements

1. Basis of preparation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of Standard Chartered PLC (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group) and equity account the Group's interest in associates and jointly controlled entities.

These Group financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations as adopted by the EU.

Except as noted below, the accounting policies applied by the Group as at, and for, 31 December 2013 are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at, and for, the year ended 31 December 2012. The following accounting standards and amendments have been endorsed by the EU.

Accounting standards adopted for reporting periods beginning 1 January 2013

On 1 January 2013, the Group adopted IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, which consolidates the guidance on how to measure fair value, which was spread across various IFRS, into one comprehensive standard. It introduces the use of an exit price, as well as extensive disclosure requirements, particularly the inclusion of non-financial instruments into the fair value hierarchy. IFRS 13 is required to be applied prospectively. The most significant impact of applying IFRS 13 is the mandatory requirement for the fair value of derivative liabilities and other liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss to take into account an adjustment for an entity's own credit risk and enhanced disclosure of valuation techniques and details on significant unobservable inputs for level 3 financial instruments. The adjustment for own credit risk is recognised as part of Net trading income (see note 3), and the approach for determining these fair values, along with the enhanced disclosures, are set out in note 12.

On 1 January 2013, the group adopted IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised), which introduces significant changes in the measurement, presentation and disclosure of defined benefit plans. The most significant impact on the Group as a result of these revisions comes in the form of the rate used to discount the plan assets. Where this rate has historically (until 31 December 2012) been based on the expected return on each class of pension assets, from 1 January 2013, IAS 19 requires assets to be measured based on an AA rated corporate bond yield, which aligns to the rate at which the liability is discounted. IAS 19 also makes changes to termination benefits as well as enhancing disclosure requirements and is required to be applied retrospectively. The effect of these changes on total operating expenses and pre-tax profit is not material.

On 1 January 2013 the Group early adopted IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements, IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Though the EU has endorsed these standards for application from 1 January 2014, which is one year later than the mandatory adoption date required by the IASB of 1 January 2013, the EU has permitted early adoption from 1 January 2013.

IFRS 10 and 11, IAS 27 and 28 require retrospective application while IFRS 12 is applied prospectively. IFRS 10 replaces the current guidance on consolidation in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-12 Special Purpose Entities. It introduces a single model of assessing control whereby an investor controls an investee when it has the power, exposure to variable returns and the ability to use its power to influence the returns of the investee. IFRS 10 also includes specific guidance on de facto control, protective rights and the determination of whether a decision maker is acting as principal or agent, all of which influence the assessment of control. The application of IFRS 10 has not had a material impact on the Group.

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures. It requires all joint ventures to be equity accounted thereby removing the option in IAS 31 for proportionate consolidation. It also removes the IAS 31 concept of jointly controlled assets. As a result, the Group's joint venture investment in PT Bank Permata Tbk (Permata) which was proportionately consolidated until 31 December 2012, is from 1 January 2013 being accounted for using the equity method as mandated under IFRS 11. The impact of this change is provided in note 31.

IFRS 12 prescribes additional disclosures around significant judgements and assumptions made in determining whether an entity controls another entity and has joint control or significant influence over another entity. The standard also requires disclosures on the nature and risks associated with interests in unconsolidated structured entities. The Group will present these disclosures, where appropriate, in the 2013 Annual Report and Accounts.

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and key sources of uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at, and for, the year ended 31 December 2013.

A summary of the Group's significant accounting policies will be included in the 2013 Annual Report and Accounts.

Notes to the financial statements continued

2. Segmental Information

The Group is organised on a worldwide basis for management and reporting purposes into two main business segments: Consumer Banking and Wholesale Banking. The products offered by these segments are summarised under 'Income by product' below. The businesses' focus is on broadening and deepening the relationship with clients and customers, rather than maximising a particular product line. Hence the Group evaluates segmental performance based on overall profit or loss before taxation (excluding corporate items not allocated) and not individual product profitability. Product revenue information is used as a way of assessing client and customer needs and trends in the market place. The strategies adopted by Consumer Banking and Wholesale Banking need to be adapted to local market and regulatory requirements, which is the responsibility of country management teams. While not the primary driver of the business, country performance is an important part of the Group's matrix structure and is also used to evaluate performance and reward staff. Corporate items not allocated are not aggregated into the businesses because of the one-off nature of these items.

The Group's entity-wide disclosure which includes profit before tax, net interest margin and structure of the Group's deposits comprises geographic areas, classified by the location of the customer, except for Financial Market products which are classified by the location of the dealer.

Transactions between the business segments and geographic areas are carried out on an arms length basis. Apart from the entities that have been acquired in the last two years, Group central expenses have been distributed between the business segments and geographic areas in proportion to their direct costs, and the benefit of the Group's capital has been distributed between segments in proportion to their average risk weighted assets. In the year in which an acquisition is made, the Group does not charge or allocate the benefit of the Group's capital. The distribution of central expenses is phased in over two years, based on the estimate of central management costs associated with the acquisition.

As disclosed in note 34, the Group will adopt a new segmental disclosure in 2014 following a reorganisation of its business.

¹The UK bank levy is applied on the chargeable equities and liabilities on the Group's consolidated balance sheet. Key exclusions from chargeable equities and liabilities include Tier 1 capital, insured or guaranteed retail deposits, repos secured on certain sovereign debt and liabilities subject to netting.

The rate of the levy for 2013 is 0.13 per cent for chargeable short term liabilities, with a lower rate of 0.065 per cent generally applied to chargeable equity and long term liabilities (i.e. liabilities with a remaining maturity greater than one year). The rate for 2014 has been increased to 0.156 per cent for qualifying liabilities, with a long term rate of 0.078 per cent. The charge for 2013 has been reduced by a refund of $31 million relating to prior years, $11 million of which related to 2012.

²During 2012, the Group reached settlements with the US authorities regarding US sanctions compliance in the period 2001 to 2007, involving a Consent Order by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), a Cease and Desist Order by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY), Deferred Prosecution Agreements with each of the Department of Justice and with the District Attorney of New York and a Settlement Agreement with the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

Determining the Group's taxation charge for the year involves a degree of estimation and judgement.
Analysis of taxation charge in the year:
	2013	2012
	$million	$million
The charge for taxation based upon the profits for the year comprises:
Current tax:
United Kingdom corporation tax at 23.25 per cent (2012: 24.5 per cent):
Current tax on income for the year	139	110
Adjustments in respect of prior periods (including double taxation relief)	(3)	10

Deferred tax:
Origination/reversal of temporary differences	165	64
Adjustments in respect of prior periods	15	8
	180	72
Tax on profits on ordinary activities	1,864	1,866
Effective tax rate	30.7%	27.2%

The UK corporation tax rate was reduced from 24 per cent to 23 per cent with an effective date of 1 April 2013, giving a blended rate of 23.25 per cent for the year.

Foreign taxation includes taxation on Hong Kong profits of $242 million (2012: $189 million) provided at a rate of 16.5 per cent (2012: 16.5 per cent) on the profits assessable in Hong Kong. Deferred taxation includes origination/reversal of temporary differences in Hong Kong profits of $1 million (2012: $3 million) provided at a rate of 16.5 per cent (2012: 16.5 per cent) on the profits assessable in Hong Kong.

				2,062			1,866
¹ The amounts are gross of scrip adjustments

The amounts in the table above reflect the actual dividend per share declared and paid to shareholders in 2013 and 2012. Dividends on ordinary equity shares are recorded in the period in which they are declared and, in respect of the final dividend, have been approved by the shareholders. Accordingly, the final ordinary equity share dividends set out above relate to the respective prior years. The 2012 final dividend of 56.77 cents per ordinary share ($1,366 million) was paid to eligible shareholders on 14 May 2013 and the 2013 interim dividend of 28.80 cents per ordinary share ($696 million) was paid to eligible shareholders on 17 October 2013. 2013 recommended final ordinary equity share dividend The 2013 final ordinary equity share dividend recommended by the Board is 57.20 cents per share ($1,385 million), which makes the total dividend for 2013 86.00 cents per share (2012: 84.00 cents per share). The final dividend will be paid in either pounds sterling, Hong Kong dollars or US dollars on 14 May 2014 to shareholders on the UK register of members at the close of business in the UK (10:00 pm London time) on 14 March 2014, and to shareholders on the Hong Kong branch register of members at the opening of business in Hong Kong (9:00 am Hong Kong time) on 14 March 2014. The 2013 final ordinary equity share dividend will be paid in Indian rupees on 15 May 2014 to Indian Depository Receipt holders on the Indian register at the close of business in India on 14 March 2014. It is intended that shareholders on the UK register and Hong Kong branch register will be able to elect to receive shares credited as fully paid instead of all or part of the final cash dividend. Details of the dividend arrangements will be sent to shareholders on or around 28 March 2014. Indian Depository Receipt holders will receive their dividend in Indian rupees only.

12. Financial instruments

Classification

Financial assets are classified between four measurement categories: held at fair value through profit or loss (comprising trading and designated), available-for-sale, loans and receivables and held-to-maturity; and two measurement categories for financial liabilities: held at fair value through profit or loss (comprising trading and designated) and amortised cost. Instruments are classified in the balance sheet in accordance with their legal form, except for instruments that are held for trading purposes and those that the Group has designated to hold at fair value through the profit and loss account. The latter are combined on the face of the balance sheet and disclosed as financial assets or liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group's classification of its principal financial assets and liabilities is summarised in the table below.

Valuation of financial instruments measured at amortised cost on a recurring basis

The valuation techniques used to establish the Group's fair values are consistent with those used to calculate the fair values of financial instruments carried at fair value. The fair values calculated are for disclosure purposes only and do not have any impact on the Group's reported financial performance or position. The fair values calculated by the Group may be different from the actual amount that will be received/paid on the settlement or maturity of the financial instrument. As certain categories of financial instruments are not traded there is a significant level of management judgement involved in calculating the fair values.

The following sets out the Group's basis of establishing fair values of amortised cost financial instruments and their classification between level 1, 2 and 3.

Cash and balances at central banks

The fair value of cash and balances at central banks is their carrying amounts.

Loans and advances to banks and customers

For loans and advances to banks, the fair value of floating rate placements and overnight deposits is their carrying amounts. The estimated fair value of fixed interest bearing deposits is based on discounted cash flows using the prevailing money market rates for debts with a similar credit risk and remaining maturity.

The Group's loans and advances to customers portfolio is well diversified by geography and industry. Approximately one-fourth of the portfolio reprices within one month, and approximately half reprices within 12 months. Loans and advances are presented net of provisions for impairment. The fair value of loans and advances to customers with a residual maturity of less than one year generally approximates the carrying value, subject to any significant movement in credit spreads. The estimated fair value of loans and advances with a residual maturity of more than one year represents the discounted amount of future cash flows expected to be received, including assumptions relating to prepayment rates and, where appropriate, credit spreads. Expected cash flows are discounted at current market rates to determine fair value. The Group has a wide range of individual instruments within its loans and advances portfolio and as a result providing quantification of the key assumptions used to value such instruments is impractical, with no one assumption being material.

Investment securities

For investment securities that do not have directly observable market values, the Group utilises a number of valuation techniques to determine fair value. Where available, securities are valued using inputs proxied from the same or closely related underlying (for example, bond spreads from the same or closely related issuer) or inputs proxied from a different underlying (for example, a similar bond but using spreads for a particular sector and rating). Certain instruments cannot be proxied as set out above, and in such cases the positions are valued using non-market observable inputs. This includes those instruments held at amortised cost and predominantly relate to asset backed securities. The fair value for such instruments is usually proxied from internal assessments of the underlying cash flows. The Group has a wide range of individual investments within the unlisted debt securities portfolio. Given the number of instruments involved, providing quantification of the key assumptions used to value such instruments is impractical, with no one assumption being material.

Deposits and borrowings

The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity is the amount repayable on demand. The estimated fair value of fixed interest bearing deposits and other borrowings without quoted market prices is based on discounting cash flows using the prevailing market rates for debts with a similar credit risk and remaining maturity. Following the adoption of IFRS 13 the Group also adjusts the fair value of deposits and borrowings for own credit adjustment using the principles described above.

Debt securities in issue, subordinated liabilities and other borrowed funds

The aggregate fair values are calculated based on quoted market prices. For those notes where quoted market prices are not available, a discounted cash flow model is used based on a current market related yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity.

Financial Hierarchy for Instruments at amortised cost

The valuation hierarchy, and the main types of instruments classified into each level within that hierarchy, is set out below:

	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
Fair value determined using:	Unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets and liabilities	Directly or indirectly observable inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable	Significant inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
Types of financial assets:	Actively traded corporate or other debt	Cash and balances at central banks Loans to banks and other financial institutions	Loans and advances to customers Illiquid or highly structured corporate bonds Illiquid loans and advances
Types of financial liabilities:	Quoted debt securities in issue Quoted subordinated liabilities	Unquoted debt securities in issue Unquoted subordinated liabilities Time deposits by customers Deposits by banks	Illiquid or highly structured debt securities in issue

Instruments carried at amortised cost

The following table summarises the carrying amounts and incorporates the Group's estimate of fair values of those financial assets and liabilities not presented on the Group's balance sheet at fair value. The fair values in the table below may be different from the actual amount that will be received/paid on the settlement or maturity of the financial instrument. For certain instruments, the fair value may be determined using assumptions for which no observable prices are available.

Reclassification of financial assets

In 2008 the Group reclassified certain non-derivative financial assets classified as held for trading into the available-for-sale ('AFS') category as these were no longer considered to be held for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. At the time of transfer, the Group identified the rare circumstances permitting such a transfer as the impact of the credit crisis in financial markets, particularly from the beginning of 2008, which significantly impacted the liquidity in certain markets. The Group also reclassified certain eligible financial assets from trading and available-for-sale categories to loans and receivables where the Group had the intent and ability to hold the reclassified assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity. There have been no reclassifications since 2008.

The following tables provide details of the remaining balances of assets reclassified during 2008:

			If assets had not been reclassified, fair value gains from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2013 that would have been recognised within
For assets reclassified:	Carrying amount at 31 December 2013	Fair value at 31 December 2013	Income	AFS reserve	Income recognised in income statement in 2013	Effective interest rate at date of reclassification	Estimated amounts of expected cash flows

Transfers of financial assets
Transfers where financial assets are not derecognised
Repurchase transactions
The Group enters into collateralised repurchase agreements (repos) and securities borrowing and lending transactions. These transactions typically entitle the Group and its counterparties to have recourse to assets similar to those provided as collateral in the event of a default. Securities sold subject to repos continue to be recognised on the balance sheet as the Group retains substantially the associated risk and rewards of these securities. The counterparty liability is included in deposits by banks or customer accounts, as appropriate. Assets sold under repurchase agreements are considered encumbered as the group cannot pledge these to obtain funding
The table below sets out the financial assets provided by the Group as collateral for repurchase transactions:

Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements
The Group also undertakes reverse repurchase (reverse repo) lending agreements with counterparties typically financial institutions in exchange for collateral. Reverse repo agreements entitle the Group to have recourse to assets similar to those received as collateral in the event of a default. In addition the Group also obtains collateral on terms that permit the Group to repledge or resell the collateral to others. The Group does not recognise the securities bought under reverse repos as collateral on its balance sheet as the Group is not substantially entitled to the risks and rewards associated with those assets and instead recognises the lending as loans and advances to banks or customers, as appropriate. The Group's reverse repos at 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012 are set out in the table below:
Balance sheet assets - Reverse repurchase agreements
			2013		2012
			$million		$million
Loans and advances to banks			12,887		7,759
Loans and advances to customers			4,538		2,900
			17,425		10,659
Under reverse repurchase and securities borrowing arrangements, the Group obtains securities on terms which permit it to repledge or resell the securities to others. Amounts on such terms are:
			2013		2012
			$million		$million
Securities and collateral received (at fair value)			17,835		10,949
Securities and collateral which can be repledged or sold (at fair value)			15,906		10,517
Thereof repledged/transferred to others for financing activities, to satisfy commitments under short sale transactions or liabilities under sale and repurchase agreements (at fair value)			1,804		1,378

Securitisation transactions
The Group has also entered into a number of securitisation transactions where the underlying loans and advances have been transferred to Structured Entities (SEs) that are fully consolidated by the Group. As a result, the Group continues to recognise the assets on its balance sheet, together with the associated liability instruments issued by the SEs. The holders of the liability instruments have recourse only to the assets transferred to the SEs.
The following table sets out the carrying value and fair value of the assets transferred and the carrying value and fair value of the associated liabilities at 31 December 2013 and 2012 respectively.
	2013			2012
	Carrying value	Fair value		Carrying value		Fair value

The Group did not undertake any transactions that required the recognition of an asset representing continuing involvement in financial assets.

12. Financial instruments continued Financial instruments subject to offsetting, enforceable master netting arrangements and similar agreements
Impact of offset in the balance sheet In accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation the Group is permitted to offset assets and liabilities and present these net on the Group's balance sheet, only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off and the Group intends to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and liability simultaneously. Amounts not offset in the balance sheet In practice the Group is able to offset other assets and liabilities which do not meet the IAS 32 netting criteria set out above. Such arrangements include master netting arrangements for derivatives and global master repurchase agreements for repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions. These agreements generally allow that all outstanding transactions with a particular counterparty can be offset but only in the event of default or other pre determined events. In addition the Group also receives and pledges readily realisable collateral for derivative transactions cover the net exposure in the event of a default. Under repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements the Group pledges (legally sell) and obtains (legally purchase) respectively, highly liquid assets which can be sold in the event of a default. The table below sets out the following: · Impact of offset on the balance sheet - This comprises derivative transactions settled through an enforceable netting agreement where we have the intent and ability to settle net that are offset on the balance sheet. · Related amounts not offset the balance sheet: This comprise (a) Financial instruments not offset in the balance sheet, but covered by an enforceable netting arrangement. This comprises master netting arrangements held against derivative financial instruments and excludes the effect of over collateralisation; and (b) Financial collateral - This comprises cash collateral pledged and received for derivative financial instruments and collateral bought and sold for reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements respectively and excludes the effect of over collateralisation.

13. Financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss comprise assets held for trading and those financial assets designated as being held at fair value through profit or loss. For certain loans and advances and debt securities with fixed rates of interest, interest rate swaps have been acquired with the intention of significantly reducing interest rate risk. Derivatives are recorded at fair value whereas loans and advances are usually recorded at amortised cost. To significantly reduce the accounting mismatch between fair value and amortised cost, these loans and advances and debt securities have been designated at fair value through profit or loss. The Group ensures the criteria under IAS 39 are met by matching the principal terms of interest rate swaps to the corresponding loans and debt securities.

Financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss

The Group designates certain financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss where either the liabilities:

· have fixed rates of interest and interest rate swaps or other interest rate derivatives have been entered into with the intention of significantly reducing interest rate risk; or

· are exposed to foreign currency risk and derivatives have been acquired with the intention of significantly reducing exposure to market changes; or

· have been acquired to fund trading asset portfolios or assets, or where the assets and liabilities are managed, and performance evaluated, on a fair value basis for a documented risk management or investment strategy.

Derivatives are recorded at fair value whereas non-trading financial liabilities (unless designated at fair value) are recorded at amortised cost. Designation of certain liabilities at fair value through profit or loss significantly reduces the accounting mismatch between fair value and amortised cost expense recognition (a criterion of IAS 39). The Group ensures the criteria under IAS 39 are met by matching the principal terms of derivatives to the corresponding liabilities, either individually or on a portfolio basis.

The Group limits exposure to credit losses in the event of default by entering into master netting agreements with certain market counterparties. As required by IAS 32, exposures are only presented net in these accounts where they are subject to legal right of offset and intended to be settled net in the ordinary course of business. Details of the amounts available for offset under master netting agreement can be found in the Risk review on page 33.

The Derivatives and Hedging sections of the Risk review on pages 73-74 explain the Group's risk management of derivative contracts and application of hedging.

19. Business Combinations

2013 acquisitions

On 2 December 2013 the Group completed the acquisition of the South African custody and trustee business of Absa Bank for a consideration of $36 million recognising goodwill of $16 million. The net assets acquired primarily comprised customer relationships that have been recognised as intangibles assets of the Group.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition is attributable to the synergies expected to arise from their integration with the Group. The primary reason for this acquisition is to enhance capability.

2012 acquisitions

On 4 November 2012, the Group completed the acquisition of 100 per cent of the issued and paid up share capital of Credit Agricole Yatirim Bankasi Turk A.S. (CAYBT), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, for a consideration of $63 million, recognising goodwill of $26 million. The net assets acquired primarily comprised balances held with central banks. The goodwill acquired largely represents intangibles that are not separately recognised, and primarily relates to the associated banking license. The primary reason for these acquisitions is to enhance capability and broaden product offering to customers.

20. Goodwill and intangible assets continued Testing of goodwill for impairment
An annual assessment is made as to whether the current carrying value of goodwill is impaired. For the purposes of impairment testing goodwill is allocated at the date of acquisition to a cash-generating unit (CGU), and the table below sets out the goodwill allocated to each CGU. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the relevant CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amounts for all the CGUs were measured based on value-in-use. The key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts are set out below and are solely estimates for the purposes of assessing impairment of acquired goodwill.

Methodology for determining value-in-use

The calculation of value-in-use for each CGU is based on cash flow projections over a 20 year period, including a terminal value which is determined based on long-term earnings multiple consistent with available market data. These cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate which reflects current market rates appropriate to the CGU as set out in the table below.

The cash flow projections are based on budgets and forecasts approved by management covering one year, except for Taiwan, Korea, Thailand and Pakistan CGUs, where management forecasts cover a total of five years to 2018. Management forecasts project growth rates greater than long-term GDP rates but which are in line with past performance as adjusted to reflect the current economic climate. For the period after management approved forecasts, the cash flows are extrapolated forward using steady long-term forecast GDP growth rates appropriate to the CGU.

Outcome of impairment assessment

The Group performed an impairment assessment on the level of goodwill assigned to the Korea CGU as at 30 June 2013 prior to its annual assessment date as a result of its consideration of reduced expectation for future cash flows and fluctuations in the discount rate. Based on this analysis, the carrying amount was assessed as exceeding the recoverable value by $1 billion which was recognised as an impairment charge.

At 31 December 2013, the results of our annual assessment review indicated that there is no other goodwill impairment to be recognised for 2013. Other than for the Korea CGU, the Group also believes that a reasonable possible change in any of the key assumptions on which the recoverable amounts have been based would not cause the carrying amounts to exceed their recoverable amount.

It continues to be possible that certain scenarios (to which Korea is more sensitive than other CGUs) could be constructed where a combination of a material change in the discount rate coupled with a reduction in current business plan forecasts or the GDP growth rate, would potentially result in the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeding the recoverable amount in the future.

33. Legal and regulatory matters

The Group receives legal claims against it in a number of jurisdictions arising in the normal course of business. The Group considers none of these matters as material either individually or in aggregate. Where appropriate the Group recognises a provision for liabilities when it is probable that an outflow of economic resources embodying economic benefits will be required and for which a reliable estimate can be made of the obligation.

The Group seeks to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, but may be subject to regulatory actions and investigations across our markets, the outcome of which are generally difficult to predict and can be material to the Group.

Further details in the 'Regulatory compliance, reviews, request for information and investigations' and 'Risk of fraud and other criminal acts' sections' are set out on pages 27 and 28 of the Risk Review.

34. Post balance sheet events

On 1 January 2014 the Group adopted a new regional geographic structure in order to better align with how the Group is managed. The new regions are Greater China (including Hong Kong), North East Asia (including Korea), ASEAN (Including Singapore), South Asia (Including India), Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan, Africa, Americas, and Europe.

On 9January 2014 the Group announced that with effect from 1 April 2014 the two businesses of the Group, Wholesale Banking and Consumer Banking would be integrated to form one business. The new business will be organised into 3 segment groups (Corporate and Institutional; Commercial and Private banking; and Retail and Small business) serviced by 5 global product groups. The impact of this change will be reflected in the Group's 2014 Half Year report.

Standard Chartered PLC - Additional information

A. Remuneration

The Group employed 86,640 staff at 31 December 2013 (2012: 89,058).

Performance and reward philosophy and principles

Our approach to performance, reward and benefits supports and drives our business strategy and reinforces our values in the context of a clearly articulated risk appetite.

Our approach:

· supports a strong performance-oriented culture, ensuring that individual reward and incentives relate directly to: (i) the performance and behaviour of the individual (ii) the performance of the business; and (iii) the interests of shareholders.

· ensures a competitive reward package that reflects our international nature and enable us to attract, retain and motivate our employees.

· reflects the fact that many of our employees bring international experience and expertise, and we recruit from a global marketplace.

· encourages an appropriate mix of fixed and variable compensation based on (i) the individual's responsibility and (ii) the individual's risk profile and that of the business.

Total remuneration is typically delivered via a combination of base salary and benefits plus variable compensation. Consistent with our pay for performance culture, our discretionary variable compensation incentives play an integral role in enabling us to recognise and reward superior performance and behaviour that support our values.

A credit default swap is a contract where the protection seller receives premium or interest-related payments in return for contracting to make payments to the protection buyer upon a defined credit event. Credit events normally include bankruptcy, payment default on a reference asset or assets, or downgrades by a rating agency.

Exposures	Credit exposures represent the amount lent to a customer, together with an undrawn commitments.
Exposure at default (EAD)	The estimation of the extent to which the Group may be exposed to a customer or counterparty in the event of, and at the time of, that counterparty's default. At default, the customer may not have drawn the loan fully or may already have repaid some of the principal, so that exposure is typically less than the approved loan limit.

Loan-to-value ratio	The loan-to-value ratio is a mathematical calculation which expresses the amount of a first mortgage lien as a percentage of the total appraised value of real property. The loan-to-value ratio is used in determining the appropriate level of risk for the loan and therefore the correct price of the loan to the borrower.

Pre-provision profit	Operating profit before impairment losses and taxation.
Private equity investments	Equity securities in operating companies generally not quoted on a public exchange.

Profit attributable to ordinary shareholders	Profit for the year after non-controlling interests and dividends declared in respect of preference shares classified as equity.
Renegotiated loans	Loans and advances are generally renegotiated either as part of an ongoing customer relationship or in response to an adverse change in the circumstances of the borrower. In the latter case renegotiation can result in an extension of the due date of payment or repayment plans under which the Group offers a concessionary rate of interest to genuinely distressed borrowers. Such assets will be individually impaired where the renegotiated payments of interest and principal will not recover the original carrying amount of the asset and are defined as forborne loans. In other cases, renegotiation may lead to a new agreement, which would be treated as a new loan.
Repo/Reverse repo	A repurchase agreement or repo is a short term funding agreements which allow a borrower to sell a financial asset, such as ABS or Government bonds as collateral for cash. As part of the agreement the borrower agrees to repurchase the security at some later date, usually less than 30 days, repaying the proceeds of the loan. For the party on the other end of the transaction (buying the security and agreeing to sell in the future) it is a reverse repurchase agreement or reverse repo.
Residential mortgage	A loan to purchase a residential property which is then used as collateral to guarantee repayment of the loan. The borrower gives the lender a lien against the property, and the lender can foreclose on the property if the borrower does not repay the loan per the agreed terms. Also known as a Home loan.

Risks-not-in-VaR (RNIV)	A framework for identifying and quantifying marginal types of market risk that are not captured in the Value at Risk (VaR) measure for any reason, such as being a fat-tail risk or the necessary historical market data not being available.
Risk weighted assets	A measure of a bank's assets adjusted for their associated risks. Risk weightings are established in accordance with the Basel Capital Accord as implemented by the PRA.
Seasoning	The emergence of credit loss patterns in portfolio over time.
Secured (fully and partially)	A secured loan is a loan in which the borrower pledges an asset as collateral for a loan which, in the event that the borrower defaults, the Group is able to take possession of. All secured loans are considered fully secured if the fair value of the collateral is equal to or greater than the loan at the time of origination. All other secured loans are considered to be partly secured.
Securitisation	Securitisation is a process by which debt instruments are aggregated into a pool, which is used to back new securities. A company sells assets to a special purpose entity (SPE) who then issues securities backed by the assets based on their value. This allows the credit quality of the assets to be separated from the credit rating of the original company and transfers risk to external investors.
Senior debt	Senior debt, frequently issued in the form of senior notes, is debt that takes priority over other unsecured or otherwise more "junior" debt owed by the issuer. Senior debt has greater seniority in the issuer's capital structure after subordinated debt. In the event the issuer goes bankrupt, senior debt theoretically must be repaid before other creditors receive any payment.
Sovereign exposures	Exposures to central governments and central government departments, central banks and entities owned or guaranteed by the aforementioned. Sovereign exposures as defined by the European Banking Authority includes only exposures to central governments.
Standardised approach	In relation to credit risk, a method for calculating credit risk capital requirements using External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAI) ratings and supervisory risk weights.

Structured notes can be linked to equities, interest rates, funds, commodities and foreign currency.
Subordinated liabilities	Liabilities which, in the event of insolvency or liquidation of the issuer, are subordinated to the claims of depositors and other creditors of the issuer.
Sub-prime	Sub-prime is defined as loans to borrowers typically having weakened credit histories that include payment delinquencies and potentially more severe problems such as court judgements and bankruptcies. They may also display reduced repayment capacity as measured by credit scores, high debt-to-income ratios, or other criteria indicating heightened risk of default.
Tangible net asset value per share	Ratio of parent shareholders' equity less preference shares classified as equity and goodwill and intangible assets to the number of ordinary shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period.
Tier 1 capital	Tier 1 capital comprises Core Tier 1 capital plus innovative Tier 1 securities and preference shares and tax on excess expected losses less material holdings in credit or financial institutions.
Tier 1 capital ratio	Tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk weighted assets.
Tier 2 capital	Tier 2 capital comprises qualifying subordinated liabilities, allowable portfolio impairment provision and unrealised gains in the eligible revaluation reserves arising from the fair valuation of equity instruments held as available-for-sale.
UK bank levy	A levy that applies to certain UK banks and the UK operations of foreign banks from 1 January 2011. The levy is payable each year based on a percentage of the chargeable liabilities of the Group as at 31 December.
Value at Risk (VaR)	Value at Risk is an estimate of the potential loss which might arise from market movements under normal market conditions, if the current positions were to be held unchanged for one business day, measured to a confidence level of 97.5 per cent.
Working profit	Operating profit before impairment losses and taxation.
Write downs	After an advance has been identified as impaired and is subject to an impairment allowance, the stage may be reached whereby it is concluded that there is no realistic prospect of further recovery. Write downs will occur when and to the extent that, the whole or part of a debt is considered irrecoverable.
