      1. This chapter imposes systems and controls pertaining to Credit Risk, and prescribes the manner of calculation of the Credit Risk Capital Requirement (also referred to in this module as CRCOM).
      2. Rules PIB 3.8.2 and PIB 3.8.3 provide that the CRCOM is a component in the calculation of the overall Risk Capital Requirement of an Authorised Firm, and that the CRCOM is to be calculated in accordance with this PIB chapter 4.
      3. The Rules in PIB section 4.8 provide that the Authorised Firm's CRCOM is 8% of the Credit RWA of the firm, which in turn is calculated as the sum of:
      a. the RWA for Credit Risk Exposures (CR Exposures); and
      b. the RWA for securitisation Exposures (SE Exposures).
      4. This chapter sets out the manner in which each of those components must be calculated, monitored and controlled by an Authorised Firm.
