Key for many types of analysis in market, credit, interest rate, liquidity, operational, insurance risk and regulatory reporting is a sophisticated event engine, which covers all kinds of financial instruments:
- On-balance: Loans, mortgages, step-up / down, roller coaster, fixed deposits, issuances, non-maturity account, non-maturing deposits / replication portfolio, life, non-life, reinsurance, funds, private equity, baskets, commodities, stock options, FX options, swaptions, futures etc.
- Off-balance: Letter of credit, loan commitments, liquidity facilities etc.

- Decrement – decreases the absolute value of the nominal value
- Dividend paymentDraw down payments e.g. from a loan.
- Event of death generated by a scenario event
- Fee payment
- Guarantee payment used in scenario analysis when conditions are met (e.g. due to default).
- Increment – increases the absolute value of the nominal value
- Interest payment
- Maturity date
- New maturity date after prolongation
- Option exercise date
- Payment of a claim already known
- Premiums e.g. from a policyholder
- Prepayment
- Principal payment
- Profit payment
- Projected payment of a claim used in scenario analysis
- Recovery payment
- Selling of securities, syndication, outplacement, or intention to sell in case it is fixed on contract
- Tax payment
- Termination date
- Value date payment
- Withdrawal of money of e.g. saving accounts
- Original premium / discount payment
- Premium / discount payment at termination date
