Abstract: Through the application of a VaR analysis to the balance sheet of a hypothetical bank this paper will address several issues important to bank managers. We will establish which balance sheet accounts lend themselves to meaningful VaR measures and the kind of information needed for input to these measures. We explain how depositor and borrower behaviors are captured in the risk measures. We also address the accuracy of the measures, and how the bank can use the VaR information for actionable decisions.
