ECB Guide to internal models


The guide was drafted in close cooperation with the national competent authorities (NCAs) and draws on
the experience gained in the context of the targeted review of internal models (TRIM) project. The guide
mainly focuses on: overarching principles, internal model governance, internal validation, internal
audit, model use, model change management and third-party involvement.

Effective model risk management allows institutions to reduce the risk of potential losses and underestimation of own
funds requirements as a result of flaws in the development, implementation or use of the models. To mitigate these
risks, institutions should have a model risk management framework in place that allows them to identify, understand and
manage their model risk for internal models across the group.

MRM for better business decisions


 Banks are increasingly using decision models in their credit processes such as origination, limit
management, collections and recoveries. In the commercial area, customers are able to select a product’s
characteristics and the system makes a real time decision on viability and price.
 Customer on boarding, engagement and marketing campaign models have become more prevalent for
establishing customer loyalty and engagement actions in all stages of the relationship with the institution
and at any time in the customer life cycle.
 Another area is fraud and money laundering detection.

Therefore, a clearly defined MRM framework with a strong management insight on monitoring models and
their risks will allow institutions to strengthen their decision making processes and improve their
profitability.

Access to trusted, quality models is essential to effectively using enterprise data − now considered a
1 strategic asset − to drive better decision making and business results.
• Banks are heavily dependent on models to help them make the best decisions and navigate an increasingly
competitive landscape. Banking executives, for example, are expected to rely on analytical models − not
just gut instinct and experience − when making decisions about deploying capital in support of lending and
customer management strategies.
As limited expert resources are often an issue in financial institutions, it is important to handle existing
2 resources in the most cost-efficient way.
• In order to achieve cost efficiency, model risk activities are prioritized and conducted for portfolios that are
of higher importance, i.e. that contain strategically relevant positions with substantial position size,
significant risk contribution or complex risk profiles.
3 Model risk management should add value to the enterprise as well as reduce risk.
• Visibility into the source of data, confidence in the reliability and applicability of the model, and ongoing
model improvements all support more effective decision-making for the organization, ultimately protecting
its financial position and reputation.

Model Risk
Model Risk can be defined as the potential loss an institution may incur, as a consequence of decisions that
could be principally based on the output of (internal) models, due to errors in the development,
implementation or use of such models. (CRD IV, Article 3.1.11)

Model Risk Management Framework


Regardless of the organization’s size and structure, regulators require that enterprise MRM frameworks
encompass all relevant aspects of the MRM life cycle with clearly assigned roles and responsibilities:
• Model Risk Identification and Assessment,
• Model Risk Measurement and Mitigation,
• Model Risk Monitoring and Reporting.

Our Model Lifecycle approach includes the following activities :
• Model inventory covering all of the organization’s models by type and goal;
• Model classification and prioritisation according to the risk posed to the bank, which will be required
in the monitoring, validation and documentation of models;
• Model documentation requires a comprehensive documentation that provides evidence of the diligence
used to create the model, captures the findings of the validation, and clarifies the intended use and
limitations of the model;
• Model follow-up scheme for the early detection of both deviations from target performance and model
misuse, in order to act accordingly.

Inventory of the models supposes the detection of the perimeter of the models potentially impacted by
the risk, through the identification of:
• The type of model (i.e. regulatory vs. model used for “managerial” or decision-making purposes)
• The goal of the model (e.g. risk management, budgeting, planning, product pricing, etc.)
Classification of the models according to the risk they bear, typically including tiers corresponding to

Integrated Approach for Model Risk Assessment


 Assessment of model materiality helps in prioritising actions and in rolling-out the MRM framework. There might not be a unique view of what are the
most significant drivers of model materiality, although the regulatory context and possible operational / compliance risks should be seen as key
drivers.
 The health assessment framework in place should enable to highlight the most important causes or issues met (“root cause” approach instead of a
mere assessment). It should capture the feedback received from Supervisors, Auditors and other lines of defence.
 Model risk inherent to models used for multiple purposes may vary depending on each particular context of use, which need to be inventoried.

This involves documenting all models used by the institution, classifying them based on complexity, sophistication, and materiality, and regularly reviewing and updating the inventory . These practices are significant because they ensure that the institution has complete oversight over the models it uses, which is essential for assessing model risk, ensuring compliance, and facilitating audits . It also aids in identifying potential model risks and implementing effective controls and mitigants .

In the Model Risk Management framework, the Board of Directors plays a crucial role in oversight and approval processes. They are responsible for approving the MRM framework and receiving regular reports on the MRM policy implementation . This involvement ensures that the institution's model risk appetite is clearly articulated and monitored against risk tolerance limits . By providing effective oversight, the Board influences rigorous model risk governance, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives and compliance standards .

A robust Model Risk Policy defined by Deloitte includes several critical elements: definition and identification of model risk tailored to the bank, clear roles and responsibilities within the MRM framework, and tailored requirements for model development, validation, and use . The policy must establish a comprehensive oversight structure involving the 3 lines of defense and model ownership responsibilities . These elements contribute to effective model risk management by standardizing practices and ensuring transparent, accountable, and compliant model governance. They also provide the groundwork for systematic identification and monitoring of model risk metrics .

Deloitte's MRM program encompasses several key components aimed at enhancing risk governance. These include the Organisational Design with clearly defined role profiles according to the 3 lines of Defense and Model Risk Governance, including setting a Model Risk Appetite and facilitating MR Reporting . Additionally, the program emphasizes MRM Policy creation, Model Inventory Management, Model Classification, and Risk Documentation. Internal audit findings are documented and reported to senior management to ensure transparency . Technology platforms support these processes, offering efficiency and cross-functional integration .

Outsourcing and utilizing external resources enhance a bank's internal Model Risk Management capabilities by supplementing existing capacities, especially in model validation, compliance functions, and other critical activities . External experts bring specialized knowledge and industry insights which can complement the internal audit or the three lines of defense structure . They also provide an independent perspective, which is beneficial in aligning the bank's processes with evolving regulatory requirements and facilitating continuous improvement in model management practices .

Deloitte proposes automating repeatable processes through the utilization of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) within the Model Risk Management framework . Automation is essential because it increases process efficiency, reduces human errors, and frees up valuable resources that can be redirected towards more strategic activities such as risk analysis and mitigation . This approach supports the scalability of MRM processes, ensuring that growth in the number of models and complexity does not lead to a proportionate increase in operational burden or risk .

Deloitte proposes using technology platforms in several ways to enhance the MRM process. Technology facilitates efficiency through the automation of repeatable processes and workflows management . Platforms support data quality management initiatives to ensure accuracy, consistency, and completeness in model input data, which is crucial for reliable model risk assessment . Additionally, technology aids in developing an enterprise-wide platform for model inventory management, enabling seamless integration and migration of multiple model systems into a single platform, thereby improving control and oversight .

Deloitte suggests several mechanisms for ongoing validation and review of models. These include regular sensitivity and benchmark tests, stress and convergence tests, and backtesting . The review should also account for material model changes, significant market, product or portfolio changes, and changes in model risk ranking . A comprehensive validation should ensure that any performance deterioration is promptly detected through performance monitoring and that appropriate adjustments or mitigants are applied to maintain model integrity and compliance with regulatory demands .

Classifying models based on complexity, sophistication, and materiality as part of Deloitte's MRM framework aids in prioritizing model validation efforts and aligning them with the institution's risk appetite . By understanding which models have the most significant potential impact on the organization's financial statement or operations, resources can be allocated more effectively to assess and manage those posing higher risks. This classification ensures that validation and oversight efforts are concentrated where they are most needed, optimizing the use of resources and enhancing overall risk management .

The integration of off-shore resources into the MRM framework supports operational strategy by enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. Offshore teams handle workload, communication, and process handoffs seamlessly with the core teams, without requiring direct client interaction unless preferred . This approach allows financial institutions to leverage specialized skills and resources globally, enhancing model validation and compliance activities while maintaining communication efficiency and operational effectiveness .
