DeptName	Organisation Name	Requirement description	Approval month	Basis for Exception
HM Treasury	HMT (Asset Protection Agency)	Services: verification of loss claims and underlying controls in Royal Bank of Scotland.	July 10.	This workstream is fundamental to the operation of the Asset Protection Agency (APA). It enables the APA to use data received from the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) to protect RBS against exceptional credit losses on a specific portfolio of assets. These activities are outsourced as part of the APA’s operating model, which is based on a small core of permanent in-house staff supported by external experts. This model has been chosen in light of the complexity of the Asset Protection Scheme (APS) and uncertainty over the Scheme’s duration. The costs of this expenditure are recharged in full to RBS.
