The underlying motive behind the Basel II proposals is to encourage banks to progress along a path of increasing sophistication in respect of risk management, controlling all risks across all businesses in a group. Banks must undertake many different projects in order to move forward in a coherent manner towards achieving best practice and Basel II compliance. These should address all the three principal categories of risk - credit, operational and market. Traditionally, risk management within the financial services industry has been tackled at a line-of-business level, often in product silos where risk managers often fail to gain an integrated "customer" view of exposure. This causes problems for Basel II compliance.
