You can view and print a paper copy of your reinvestment assumptions by clicking the Assumption Report button at the bottom of the Reinvestment Rates screen. Doing so will open a window similar to the one below:

 

 

BReinvest_26_V4

 

This report provides a summary of the current reinvestment rate assumptions listed in G/L account order for each budget simulation. It shows the current base rate the reinvestment rate is based on.

 

The second line shows the spread, percentage, or value used in each time period.  The third line shows the results that were obtained using that spread, percentage, or value. The fourth line is reserved for comments entered.

 

The last column to the far right on the report will show the date that the assumption was last changed.  If a date is in bold, the assumptions are older than three months and should be reviewed to see if they are still appropriate and re-save them to remove the warning.

 

Carefully check the report for Base Index Rate descriptions of None (these appear to the left of the first date column). There should be no assumptions assigned to a Base Index Rate of None.  Also make sure there are no negative assumption rates after the rate assumption method is applied.

 

We highly recommend that all module (Shock, Budget, and EVE) assumption reports be saved each month.  This will provide the bank with documentation of the parameters set into the model for any given month.  The saved assumption reports can be provided to auditors/examiners if requested.

 

There are two methods to save the assumption reports.

 

1.  When the assumption report is displayed, select the export icon - Growth_49 to export the report to your normal month end report location.

 

2.  Go to the Reporting module and place the assumption report in a report group.  You can set up a separate report group for all the assumption reports or add the assumption report to an existing monthly report group.
