Model Validator
3 weken geleden
The Model Validator is a member of the ALM & Capital Model Validation team. The Model Validator performs high-quality validations mainly in the ALM & Capital domain. These validations contribute to identifying and mitigating the model risk at ABN AMRO in line with internal and external requirements and reflecting best market practices. The validator forms an independent opinion on matters such as the mathematical consistency of the model, its suitability for its intended use, its accuracy, and its proposed implementation. The findings of the validation are presented in a validation report, which typically contains a recommendation towards the risk committee mandated to grant model approvals, as well as proposals for mitigating action in case model deficiencies have been identified. Depending on their experience, the Model Validator levels I and II perform the activities described in this section with more or less help and guidance from a (Senior) Model Validator. Working Environment
The Model Risk Management department consists of four Model Validation teams (Innovation & Projects, Credit Risk Model Validation, ALM & Capital Model Validation, and Valuation & Market Risk Model Validation) and one Model Risk Management Office. Together, these teams safeguard the Model Risk Management Framework of the bank.
Validation is a powerful tool in model risk management and is a regulatory obligation. In this context, validation refers to the critical inspection of a model by a department separate from the one developing the model. The findings of the validation are presented in a validation report, which typically contains a recommendation towards the risk committee mandated to grant model approvals, as well as proposals for mitigating action in case model deficiencies have been identified.
The ALM & Capital Model team validates the models employed for managing the market (e.g., interest rate) and liquidity risks associated with the products in the banking book of ABN AMRO Bank. The scope of this validation team includes a variety of models ranging from the behavioral Interest Rate Mortgage Model to Market Risk in the Banking Book Economic Capital model. The validator in this team has a key role of:
- Assessing the quality of the data used for the development of the prototype model;
- Examining the correctness of the methodology and assumptions;
- Forming an independent opinion on the model’s performance;
- Assessing the compliance of the model with respect to internal and external regulations;
- Checking the final implementation of the model in the production environment;
The team examines, verifies, and challenges various modeling techniques, scaling from logistic regressions and time-series analysis to Monte-Carlo simulations and machine learning techniques. The validators often employ those for building challenger models as an alternative to the methods proposed by Modelling. By analyzing the key components of the model, the validator identifies issues, proposes improvement opportunities, identifies the model risk, and shares the result with relevant parties. The team creates high-quality validation reports and provides them to senior management as well as to other key stakeholders. The ALM & Capital Model Validation team has the mandate to escalate the issues to the CRO of the bank. Your Profile
