Context. For Financial Institutions, Model Governance & Model Risk Management is a critical activity. This an area which is witnessing increased focus and reconsideration due to several factors,

  • The economic effects of COVID19 has led to failure of some models. The outcome of which has come to the attention of Boards, Auditors and Regulators,
  • The increased number of models with Financial Institutions including them in their decision making,
  • Business necessitating faster model development & deployment
  • Regulators publishing guidelines and focusing on a higher degree of scrutiny of model governance and model risk awareness.

Risk Models are applied in various facets of the business, namely, IFRS9/CECL, ICAAP/Stress Testing, Capital Adequacy, Balance Sheet Analytics, Liquidity Risk, Market Risk, Credit Risk, (Application, Origination, Behavioral Scorecards, Rating Models, PD, LDG, EAD, CCF), CRM, Revenue Management, ATM & Network Diagnostics, Operational Risk, Fraud Monitoring, the list goes on. Models needs to be built more rapidly, calibrated and re-calibrated for accuracy equally fast and more frequently. This creates an inventory of models & results, which needs a governance framework. Such a framework has several stakeholders, the model developer, the review authority, the business team who applied this, the auditor who inspected this, the board risk committee who oversees this, the external auditor and regulatory authority.
