the pnc financial services group , inc .
2013 form 10-k 65 liquidity and capital management liquidity risk has two fundamental components .
the first is potential loss assuming we were unable to meet our funding requirements at a reasonable cost .
the second is the potential inability to operate our businesses because adequate contingent liquidity is not available .
we manage liquidity risk at the consolidated company level ( bank , parent company and nonbank subsidiaries combined ) to help ensure that we can obtain cost-effective funding to meet current and future obligations under both normal 201cbusiness as usual 201d and stressful circumstances , and to help ensure that we maintain an appropriate level of contingent liquidity .
management monitors liquidity through a series of early warning indicators that may indicate a potential market , or pnc-specific , liquidity stress event .
in addition , management performs a set of liquidity stress tests over multiple time horizons with varying levels of severity and maintains a contingency funding plan to address a potential liquidity stress event .
in the most severe liquidity stress simulation , we assume that our liquidity position is under pressure , while the market in general is under systemic pressure .
the simulation considers , among other things , the impact of restricted access to both secured and unsecured external sources of funding , accelerated run-off of customer deposits , valuation pressure on assets and heavy demand to fund committed obligations .
parent company liquidity guidelines are designed to help ensure that sufficient liquidity is available to meet our parent company obligations over the succeeding 24-month period .
liquidity-related risk limits are established within our enterprise liquidity management policy and supporting policies .
management committees , including the asset and liability committee , and the board of directors and its risk committee regularly review compliance with key established limits .
in addition to these liquidity monitoring measures and tools described above , we also monitor our liquidity by reference to the liquidity coverage ratio ( lcr ) which is further described in the supervision and regulation section in item 1 of this report .
pnc and pnc bank calculate the lcr on a daily basis and as of december 31 , 2018 , the lcr for pnc and pnc bank exceeded the fully phased-in requirement of 100% ( 100 % ) .
we provide additional information regarding regulatory liquidity requirements and their potential impact on us in the supervision and regulation section of item 1 business and item 1a risk factors of this report .
