IFRS 9 tools

IFRS 9 tools that standardise impairment calculations, strengthen provisioning accuracy, and ensure compliant credit-loss reporting.

Cyte’s IFRS 9 framework automates expected credit-loss (ECL) calculations across performing and non-performing exposures using integrated PD, LGD, and EAD inputs. Operations teams benefit from fast, consistent impairment processing; portfolio managers gain consolidated insights into provisioning impacts and risk migration; and compliance officers receive regulator-aligned disclosures with full audit trails. With IFRS 9, organisations maintain accurate, defensible provisioning practices and forward-looking risk assessments grounded in validated model outputs.

IFRS 13 Valuation

IFRS 13 tools that deliver consistent fair-value measurements, transparent valuation methodologies, and audit-ready reporting.

Cyte’s IFRS 13 framework centralises debt, guarantee, and collateral valuations using standardised, income-based and credit-risk-based methodologies. Risk teams can validate fair-value outputs at instrument level; portfolio managers gain insight into pricing alignment, yield, and margin performance; and compliance teams receive disclosure-ready valuation reports supported by traceable inputs. With IFRS 13, organisations maintain defensible, market-aligned fair-value measurements across their portfolios.

IFRS 16 tools

IFRS 16 tools that automate lease accounting, ensure accurate exposure measurement, and deliver regulator-ready disclosure outputs.

Cyte’s IFRS 16 framework streamlines the capture, calculation, and reporting of lease-related exposures across large portfolios. The platform automates right-of-use asset recognition, lease liability calculations, amortisation, and depreciation schedules using standardised methodologies. Operations teams gain efficient, error-free lease processing; managers receive clear visibility into lease exposures and financial impacts; and compliance officers benefit from accurate disclosure templates and integrated audit trails. With IFRS 16, organisations maintain consistent, defensible lease reporting across all entities and reporting cycles.

Basel tools

Basel tools that strengthen capital adequacy oversight, enhance portfolio transparency, and ensure alignment with regulatory capital requirements.

Cyte’s Basel framework supports banks, NBFIs, and credit providers in calculating risk-weighted assets (RWA) and capital adequacy ratios using PD, LGD, and EAD inputs derived from Cyte’s rating models. Risk teams can assess capital consumption at obligor and portfolio level, managers gain visibility into capital efficiency across exposures, and compliance teams receive regulator-aligned outputs with clear model governance. With Basel tools, organisations ensure that capital allocation, provisioning, and risk appetite remain aligned - supported by transparent, validated, and auditable methodologies.

AML/KYC tools

AML/KYC tools that standardise client verification, enforce policy, and ensure every credit decision meets regulatory compliance requirements.

Cyte’s AML/KYC compliance capabilities integrate affordability scoring, identity verification, and rule-based policy checks into a single, consistent workflow. The Decision Engine ensures KYC and AML decisions are standardised, traceable, and policy-aligned, while producing complete audit logs for regulatory reviews. Operations teams gain efficiency through automated verification steps, portfolio managers benefit from consistent compliance enforcement across clients and segments, and compliance officers receive defensible evidence trails that meet regulatory expectations. With AML/KYC, organisations reduce compliance risk while maintaining fast, accurate credit operations.

System governance and audit

Governance and audit tools that ensure transparency, traceability, and operational integrity across the entire credit lifecycle.

Cyte’s governance framework provides end-to-end oversight of system processes, data flows, and model execution. BootSure Pipelines orchestrate background tasks with full logging and execution histories; Digital Pipelines maintain complete data lineage from extraction to transformation; and all actions across the Suite are tracked for audit and regulatory evaluation. Operations teams gain workflow transparency, managers receive consistent and reliable system outputs, and compliance officers benefit from an auditable environment where every model run, data mapping, and decision is fully documented and traceable.
