Finalyse\u2019s \u2018Model Validation\u2019 service determines whether the models supporting your credit decisions and the monitoring framework that assures their reliability are methodologically sound and compliant with relevant regulations such as Basel III or your internal standards. In addition, this service provides you with a comparison to industry best practices. The resulting \u2018Validation Report\u2019 gives you an independent and detailed assessment of your models and the related infrastructure. It identifies the strong and weak points of your models, their fit to your environment and actions for improvement. You will benefit from the sound track record of Finalyse of more than 20 successful projects in regulatory and internal compliance gap analysis; qualitative and quantitative analysis of existing scorecards, PD, LGD, EAD\/CF and other models.<\/p>","benefits":"

This enables you to save time from model request to implementation, and reduces models risks such as non-compliance with internal and regulatory requirements, misspecification, poor documentation, or limited modelling experience. The resulting model code can be version-controlled and implemented without additional work or used to validate implementation. It is a transparent, customized environment that builds on decades of expertise and experience in modelling and SAS development accumulated at Finalyse.<\/p>","benefits":" <\/p> Download the brochure<\/a><\/p><\/div>","additional_class":"desert","url_title":"credit-risk-modelling-toolkit","tile_size":"1","plus_link":""},{"id":"9620","title":"Operational Risk","industries":"For Banking","tags":"Operational Risk, Business Process, Model Validation","content1":"Operational Risk Management \u2013 done well \u2013 can save your job and more","content2":" Thinking that operational risk management is pointless or not good value for your time and money might cost you your job or worse.

The new standard is likely to affect many areas beyond financial reporting, such as actuarial models, IT systems, taxation, product design, business strategies and remuneration. The long lead time until January 2021 indicates the high complexity of implementation and should not be underestimated. <\/p>\n Noticeably, the temporary exemption from IFRS 9 allows to bring the two standards into line and apply them together as from January 2021. <\/p>\n Finalyse offers its experience in the parallel implementation of both standards. <\/p>\n We propose comprehensive yet pragmatic solutions for major challenges your teams will encounter<\/b>:<\/p>\n To be applied as from January 2018, IFRS 9 replaces the previous IAS 39 standards.<\/p><\/div>\n Under the new standard, any fixed income instrument could be subject to three different measurement methods, leading to different impacts in the P&L statement.

Risk architectures have grown organically over the years to follow the growth of the business and to accommodate the ever increasing needs of control authorities. New requirements are often resolved by adding layers to a risk framework that becomes inevitably more complex and less efficient. Duplicate data, redundant checking, manual workarounds, reformatting, investigating discrepancies and many other mundane tasks are some examples. As a result, many risk professionals are not able to focus on what matters most: analysing the risks, unearthing patterns or trends and sending the right signals to the executives.
