• The amount by which a derivative or other instrument mitigates credit risk
11
• The amount by which a derivative or other instrument mitigates credit risk
• The change in fair value during the period (and cumulatively) attributable to changes in
credit risk, and

2. Identify exposures at the balance sheet date
3. Determine which financial statement balances might change and why
4. Determine the appropriate level of aggregation for the analysis
5. Calculate and present the sensitivity analysis
Revisions
