Accounting, consulting and technology firm Crowe Horwath introduced a Crowe Model Risk Manager solution that facilitates financial institutions' model risk management process while providing insight into the complex inter-relationship of models across the enterprise, in a single view.
The solution was built to meet the requirements in the latest supervisory guidance while enabling finance companies to: identify and inventory models and understand model risk; develop, monitor and validate models; and deploy effective model governance and control.
“Financial institutions can have hundreds, if not thousands, of models, making model risk management incredibly complex and challenging,” stated Brian Kloostra, a principal in the Crowe Risk Consulting group. “We combined our technology background with our extensive experience working with financial institutions to develop a solution that supports sound practices and provides the automation required for effective model governance. This gives financial institutions a consistent way to identity, manage and mitigate model risk while meeting regulatory and business requirements.”
Crowe Model Risk Manager components include:
- Support for complex hierarchies and linkages of models and model elements
- Maintaining and logging changes made to model design, inputs, outputs, thresholds, parameters and documentation
- Tracking the history of model deployment at each stage while showing the lineage of implemented models, versions and parameters
- Tracking of inputs and outputs to trigger alerts regarding anomalies, issues and required actions
- Collecting results, issues and action items to confirm necessary changes in development and implementation processes
- Collecting results, recommendations, issues and action items to track changes made to models
- Predefined reports, dashboards and charts, and the ability to create custom reports
