Robust quantitative models have been an essential component of risk management and analysis for decades, but have dramatically increased in sophistication and complexity over the last few years. Rapidly changing market dynamics and increased regulations demand adaptive financial models that address a broad range of evolving risks.
Recent high-profile model failures have emphasized the importance of modeling practices that employ stringent implementation, validation and review techniques to manage hidden risks - risks within models themselves. As a result, Model Risk is increasingly on every risk manager’s radar.
On Tuesday, February 26, 2013 Satyam Kancharla, Chief Strategy Officer & SVP of Client Solutions Group, discusses model risk assessment, regulation and best practices. This webinar addressed:
- The Evolution of Model Risk
- Market Factors
- Regulatory Drivers
- Industry Challenges
- Model Risk Analysis – Assessment, Validation & Review Processes
- How is Model Risk Assessed?

- What about Data Quality?
- Best Practices Case Study
