Segment reporting

Structure

VP Bank Group adjusted its organisational structure as of 1 July 2020, creating the new Client Solutions organisational unit. The external segment reporting reflects the organisational structure of VP Bank Group as of 31 December 2020 and the internal reporting to management. These form the basis for assessing the financial performance of the segments and the allocation of resources to the segments. 

VP Bank Group consists of the six organisational units ­“Intermediaries & Private Banking”, “Client Solutions”, “Chief Executive Officer”, “Chief Financial Officer”, “Chief Operating Officer” and “Chief Risk Officer”. 

The four organisational units “Chief Executive Officer”, “Chief Financial Officer”, “Chief Operating Officer” and “Chief Risk Officer” are regrouped together under the business segment “Corporate Center” for segment reporting. 

Revenues and expenditures as well as assets and liabilities are allocated to the business segments based on the responsibilities for the clients and the principle of origi­nation. Insofar as a direct allocation is not possible, the positions in question are reported under the Corporate Center. Furthermore, the Corporate Center includes adjustments made on consolidation.
