A. BACKGROUND

Mongolia has received a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) for the Strengthening Fiscal and Financial Stability Project (SFFSP). The Objective of the SFFS Project is to contribute to the Government of Mongolia’s efforts to strengthen fiscal and financial stability and improve the quality of expenditure. The project is designed into five components: (I) Strengthening Macroeconomic and Fiscal Management; (II) Improving the Efficiency of Public Financial Management; (III) Enhancing Financial Sector Stability; (IV) Strengthening the Social Protection System; (V) Project Management and Monitoring. The objectives are to: Strengthening fiscal responsibility and implementing relevant policy measures, improving fiscal discipline, strengthening the resiliency of the banking system, improving public expenditure quality in social protection, providing support for Project implementation, coordination, monitoring and evaluation, including, inter alia, audit arrangements, reporting requirements, procurement and financial management activities respectively. For more details, please refer to the Project Appraisal Document Report No. PAD2269.

Adoption of the “The Bank Deposit Insurance Law” on January 10th, 2013 laid the legal foundation for establishing the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Mongolia (hereinafter referred to as the DICOM). The DICOM is a non-profit, state-owned organization and its mandate is to protect depositors’ interests and ensure financial stability. The core functions of the DICOM are to collect premiums from member banks, manage the Fund assets, provide compensation to insured depositors in case of an insured event and provide financial support to the banks, which are in difficult situations as stipulated in the law. In addition, on February 8, 2018 “The Bank Deposit Insurance Law” was amended to allow the DICOM to carry out inspections at its member banks. 

In the case of an insured event the DICOM is required to start the compensation process for insured deposits up to 20 million MNT, including foreign currency deposits up to that amount. The payout process is to start within 10 business days after the Bank of Mongolia has made a decision to liquidation.

The DICOM has faced our first event to process compensation to the insured depositors of Capital Bank, which failed on April 8, 2019. During the event, we had faced several challenges that slowed down the compensation process using an Oracle database due to the DICOM did not have any compensation payment system. Due to lack of the system the DICOM was not able to calculate and compensate simultaneously to all eligible insured depositors. Thus, all process has been made manually.

Therefore, the DICOM and the Ministry of Finance aim to develop compensation payment system for DICOM.  

B. OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT

The main objectives of the consultancy service are to develop and establish compensation  payment system for DICOM.

C. SCOPE OF WORK

The system shall enable the DICOM to immediately and efficiently perform the duties stipulated in the law. Consultants’ duties and responsibilities will include the following but not limited to:

1. IT environment overview: To obtain the detailed information about the existing design of the DICOM IT network and storage systems, the Contractor shall coordinate with the DICOM.

2. System participant’s IT environment overview: Participants of the compensation payment system shall be Receiver, the Bank of Mongolia, the DICOM, Agent banks, call centers and depositors. The banks in Mongolia use a variety of core banking and other related systems and therefore such systems must be fully reviewed to assure compatibility with developed compensation payment system and make recommendations where such compatibility may not be assured. It will be important for the consultant to understand how to design a compensation system that will work with whatever system a failed bank has or to recommend regulatory initiatives for IT requirements for member banks that will allow DICOM's compensation system to be able to interface with a bank's system.

3. Security assessment: Review the system infrastructure by examining the enterprise wide systems (System software infrastructure – MS Windows, MS Exchange, MS Lync and MS SharePoint, system infrastructure – Storage, Servers, Network devices, Security software –Antivirus and Active directory, web browser – Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer etc.) and make any recommendations as to how to assure the needed security for such systems.

4. Administrative review: It is essential to verify  if the needed system ownership (DICOM) and responsibilities are clearly established and if appropriate controls are in place to ensure that segregation of duties exists between all responsible parties

5. Change Request Procedures: Verify through an audit process that an effective Change Request Procedures system is in place and that all requested changes are documented, whether they are break fixes, enhancements, or major revisions (releases). It is essential that any change to the application is first initiated by a request that is reviewed and approved by the appropriate persons. The documentation around the Change Request Procedures process needs to specifically establish who can request changes, who can approve changes, and who can move these changes into production. The auditor should confirm the segregation of the three roles and report any discrepancies in this regard. 

6. System Penetration Testing: Two levels of system penetration testing are required:

  • Verify whether the application is vulnerable to common attacks basic system penetration testing through simulating the types of attacks that could be launched on the systems.
  • Verify whether the systems are vulnerable to unique attacks (such as attacks on systems logic), design and execute system penetration tests that attempt to subvert the system’s security mechanism.

7. Systems and Applications: Verify that systems and applications are appropriate, are efficient, and are adequately controlled to ensure valid, reliable, timely, and secure input, processing, and output at all levels of a system's activity.

8. Management of IT and Enterprise Architecture: Verify that IT management has developed an organizational structure and procedures to ensure a controlled and efficient environment for information processing.

9. Provide a Risk Score: Design a quantitative score for the risk associated with the audited systems, databases and network devices.

10. Develop a Security Policy: Develop current security policy to close the gaps arising from the Information Systems Audit.
