We understand the modelling process as a series of sub-processes with mutual dependencies starting with the data preparation stage, model development and testing, model documentation, and internal governance.
Our model validation and assurance offering leverage our statistical model development and data analytics experience. This enables us to implement robust frameworks for the assessment of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of model design, development, and performance oversight.
Our broad expertise in different areas of risk helps clients to find synergies and improve efficiencies in their risk management framework.
