Our Services

Model Development, Model Validation, & Risk Analytics

Credit risk

Evaluate and control risk of borrower defaults. Our robust models and validation processes enable precise credit assessments, supporting informed decision-making and maintaining financial stability.

We develop Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) model for primary or benchmark uses leveraging bank’s internal data or FDIC call report data.

Develop credit stress testing using CECL model using economic scenario from Moody’s or Fed CCAR.

Develop loan rating models (PD/LGD/EAD) using bank’s internal loan data.

Market risk

Provide comprehensive solutions to measure, monitor, and mitigate risks arising from fluctuations in market prices and interest rates.

Our expertise in model development and validation ensures accurate risk assessments, helping banks navigate volatile market conditions with confidence.

Asset Liability Management

We assist banks in implementing Asset Liability Management (ALM) models to balance assets and liabilities, optimizing profitability and managing risk exposure for long-term financial stability.

Liquidity Stress Test

We help banks with Liquidity Stress Test models to evaluate their ability to withstand extreme market conditions, ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet obligations during financial stress.

Capital Stress Test

Our services support banks in conducting Capital Stress Test models, assessing capital adequacy under various adverse scenarios to maintain robust capital reserves and regulatory compliance.

Value at Risk (VaR)

We provide expertise in Value at Risk (VaR) models, helping banks measure potential losses in their portfolios over specified time frames, offering quantitative risk assessments to inform risk management strategies.

Expected Shortfall

We assist banks with Expected Shortfall models to calculate average losses in the worst-case scenarios beyond the VaR threshold, enhancing understanding of tail risk and improving risk mitigation efforts.

Compliance Risk

Help banks adhere to regulatory requirements such as Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). We validate robust models to detect and prevent financial crimes, ensuring you remain compliant and safeguarded against legal and reputational risks.

Data & AI Risk

Provide actionable data strategy to prioritize business needs across data governance initiatives such as metadata management, data quality, secure data access for analytics and GenAI model development, and data security.

Purpose: Maintain data consistency and integrity for tables and columns

  • Spreadsheet like representation of selected metadata attributes
  • Technical metadata update isn’t allowed as the scanner captures information through automation
  • Maintain column transformation rules and business logic
Data Catalog (Business Data Owner)

Purpose: Increase usage to governed data

  • LOG view of datasets with business metadata and selected metadata (Loan origination, Consumer Credit Card)
  • Users add comments and provide feedback when they use data in the tool of their choices

Data Quality

We design data quality rules and solution that are developed once and scaled across databases and data platform for customers. We develop data quality dashboards, controls and KRIs to improve trust in data.

Advisory Services

Our Advisory Services are tailored to collaborate closely with line of business owners, providing expert guidance and strategic insights to optimize risk management practices. Our advisory team brings deep industry knowledge and a proactive approach to empower your business with the tools and confidence needed to navigate the complex risk landscape. We identify and prepare risk inventory and risk appetite framework for the business. Our advisory services are isolated from model validation.

End-to-End Quantitative Model Validation

We offer comprehensive end-to-end model validation services in accordance with the SR 11-7 guideline. The SR 11-7 guideline, issued by the Federal Reserve, outlines rigorous standards for model risk management in financial institutions. It emphasizes the importance of robust model development, implementation, and validation processes to ensure models are accurate, reliable, and fit for their intended purpose. Adhering to SR 11-7 helps institutions mitigate model risk, enhance governance, and maintain regulatory compliance, thereby supporting sound decision-making and financial stability.
