The Prudential Authority of South Africa issued this guidance note to clarify definitions and principles related to the Advanced Measurement Approach for operational risk, replacing Guidance Note 2/2013. It specifies rules for partial and hybrid AMA usage, mandates that banks cannot revert to simpler approaches without prior written approval, and emphasizes home-host supervisory cooperation for cross-border implementation. The document requires banks to ensure their independent auditors receive the guidance and to return a signed acknowledgement of receipt to the Authority.
