Assessing fundamental assumptions underlying the design of the model.
Assessing the quality of input data, system implementation and model performance.
Assessing whether models are appropriate given the evolving business, economic and regulatory environment.
Writing high quality validation reports and discuss results with model developers, senior management, auditors and the European Central Bank.
