Working with analytics

Analytical reports allow you to gain quick insights into your model validation efforts. Reports detail critical findings, risk exposure, and compliance status to ensure effective oversight and management of model-related risks.

Typical uses for reports

• Executive summaries — Gain a high-level overview of model validation activities, focusing on critical findings and risk exposure.
• Model tracking — Get quick insights into each model’s validation findings, highlighting any major issues or deficiencies.
• Compliance review — Find information on compliance with relevant regulatory requirements and internal policies.
• Remediation tracking — See the status of actions taken or proposed to address validation findings and mitigate identified risks.
• Risk assessment — Find summaries of the risks associated with each model, including model limitations, model stability and robustness issues, needed model adjustments, and much more.

Reports are primarily designed for model validators or Chief Risk Officers (CROs) who require an understanding of findings related to model validation activities.
