Banks, insurers and U.S. subsidiaries of foreign financial institutions are now undertaking significant model development efforts to address new and evolving regulatory requirements such as CCAR and resolution planning.
As a result of the struggle to enhance internal capabilities to address the changing environment, a strain has been placed on the model development and validation functions, which commonly leads to organizational tension and inefficiency.
This paper discusses opportunities to refine the way that model developers and model validation interact to improve efficiency and effectiveness without compromising the need to maintain independence and provide challenge.
