What do we learn from the accounting department?
• Unexpected Loss is a minor topic when we talk about loss.
• Expected Loss as expression is missleading, because you expect your
forecast.
• Only consolidated exposures cause losses.
• Provisions are those facts, which contain real credit losses.
• The profit center calculation is closely connected to the accounting.
• The bonus often is balance sheet oriented.
• For a Risk-Return calculation Risk has to adopt the Return basis.

• Combine your data in a SPOT
• Accept the understanding of yourself as a service unit
• Only proofs let the risk management results be accepted
