Executive summary
Baker Tilly has transformed its model validation services by integrating Moody’s ALM US Solution, a leading technology platform that enables deeper testing, greater efficiency and scalability without adding resources or time. This technology-driven approach expands our modeling capabilities across the majority of banking models including Asset/Liability Management (ALM), Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL), Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs) and liquidity, allowing us to deliver more sophisticated validations and strategic insights for our clients.
How this helps our clients
Financial institutions face increasing regulatory expectations and growing model complexity. Traditional validation methods are often manual and resource-heavy and struggle to keep up. Baker Tilly’s technology-enabled solution provides a smarter, scalable alternative, helping institutions achieve accuracy, efficiency and actionable insights.
The business challenge
Many firms still rely on manual processes and limited tools for model validation, making it difficult to deliver high-quality results efficiently. Without advanced modeling applications or challenger models, institutions risk slower turnaround times, higher costs and limited insights into complex models.

- Deeper testing and challenger models for robust, high-quality validations
- Expanded capabilities across ALM, CECL, MSRs and investment modeling
- Streamlined workflows that reduce processing time and free capacity for strategic analysis
- Integrated risk view by consolidating liquidity, ALM, CECL and MSR models into one platform
This technology-driven approach allows us to handle complex validations efficiently and provide insights that go beyond compliance — helping institutions strengthen model risk management and support business growth.
