Role & responsibilities

The ongoing monitoring of the model is a task that must be done in all phases of the model lifecycle (development, implementation, use). In order to track and measure the efficiency and adequacy of models, the model monitor conducts continuous analysis and controls as an early warning both initially at implementation (for new models) and regularly as a part of the models ongoing monitoring.
For the purpose of these tests, the model monitor is responsible to:
- Backtest each model designed and developed by the business, hence a thorough understanding of model development under Basel & IFRS norms is critical.
- Choose adequate model outcome analysis techniques such as:
o Model estimates vs realized values (e.g. back-testing for some models);
o Stability of model outcomes;
o Benchmarking: model output vs output generated by comparable models or applications;
o Sensitivity analysis to test robustness.
- Analyze the model output and the related components (if applicable);
- Model assumptions and limitations validity;
- Results of benchmarking and sensitivity analysis;
- Accuracy of models characteristics;(ROC/AUC, KS statistics, accuracy ratio, Gini coefficient etc)




- Monitor over time in order to follow up trends and detect deviations;
- Establish thresholds and action plan for major deviations;
- Report this analysis to the different model stakeholders.
- Implement a governance to monitor the corrective actions

Furthermore, as part of the model ongoing monitoring phase, the model monitor should abide by the group standards on ongoing monitoring that establish guidelines on performance assessment processes including type, scope and range of tests and appropriateness of responses to any problems that may appear.
