Model Validation Services for Consumer Credit Risk
Register for the Course
Moody’s Analytics provides independent and unbiased model validation and advisory services for proprietary and third party consumer credit risk models.
Independent model validation is an integral component of model risk management. Poorly designed models can undermine underwriting performance, mismeasure expected losses, and undermine financial reporting, capital allocation and strategic decision making. In addition, increased regulation has significantly raised the bar for validation through increased scrutiny of models, process and governance.
As a trusted second line of defense, Moody’s Analytics provides independent and unbiased model validation and advisory services for proprietary and third party models. Our model validation services go beyond ticking the box. We evaluate whether the chosen model delivers sound results and meets the needs for which it was designed, while improving our client’s governance processes.
