Financial institutions have long used models in their everyday activities to measure and manage risk – asset-liability management (ALM), Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-money laundering (BSA/AML), budgeting, capital adequacy, current expected credit losses (CECL), liquidity and more. As the list and complexity of models, data assumptions and regulatory requirements continue to grow, so does the need for a flexible model risk management strategy that centralizes your data for consistent enterprise-wide reporting you can trust.
