  Answer:
  1.C
  The Basel Committee states "At banks that were highly exposed to the financial crisis and fared comparatively well, senior management as a whole took an active interest in the development and operation of stress testing stress testing at most banks, however, did not foster internal debate nor challenge prior assumptions" Therefore, the Basel Committee recommends that prior assumptions used in stress testing be challenged to ensure that the stress test best captures the potential for extreme scenarios given current market conditions.
  2.D
  A sinking fund actually retires the bonds based on a schedule. This can be accomplished through either payment of cash or through the delivery of securities. An accelerated sinking fund provision allows the company to retire more than is stipulated in the indenture.
  3.D
  Scenario Analysis is unique among top-down approaches focusing on LFHS events that have not occurred yet.
