Rating Criteria
Archives

Acuité has well defined rating criteria and methodologies, models that form the analytical basis for all the ratings assigned. The rating criteria and methodology is reviewed once in 3 years or earlier if regulations/ circumstances warrant. These criteria help the analyst to ensure that all ratings can be benchmarked against a common reference. The hard copy edition of the updated Operations Manual / Internal Governing document is printed once in a year in Q3 (Oct-Dec quarter).
