Moody’s Analytics independent and unbiased model validation solutions improve and automate your firm's model risk management processes.
Independent model validation is an integral component of model risk management in today’s highly regulated financial environment. Poorly designed and functioning models can undermine otherwise solid financial reporting, underwriting performance, expected loss calculations, capital allocation, and strategic decision making. Regulatory guidance has placed more scrutiny on model validation and model risk management practices. It has fostered a company-wide view of models, the modeling process, and model governance practices.
Moody’s Analytics best-in-class model validation solutions help management and regulators stay up-to-date on model performance and associated risks. Our offering includes, data validation, model analytics and pricing, remediation, regulatory reporting and documentation, suitability assessments, workflow, and predictive sensitivity testing.
