Model Governance and Risk Management is an integral part of Model Development Lifecycle.

Due to predictive nature of models, there is an inherent risk associated with them. If the model predictions deviate significantly from real world scenarios, it could have catastrophic results for both an organization and its customers. In such a scenario, it becomes extremely important to have well defined, preventive and detective guardrails around model development and use.

Organizations have done model risk management in one form or the other, but the overarching principles and framework has started shaping in the last decade. In April 2011, the US Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System published the Supervisory Guidance on Model Risk Management (SR 11-7). With the recent advances in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence and the introduction of generative AI like GPT-4 and DALL·E, government and regulatory bodies around the world are showing tremendous interest in strengthening existing regulations or introducing new ones. On 17th May 2023, the Prudential Regulatory Authority of Bank of England published SS 1/23 Model Risk Management principles for banks in UK covering traditional banking models as well as Machine Learning and AI models.

This course gives an overview of Model Governance and Risk Management principles and can serve as a high level guide to implement or harden model governance and risk management processes for your organization or clients. We have taken the regulation SS1/23 Model Risk Management principles for Banks in UK as an example. Though we are using this regulatory example, the implementation framework discussed in this course is industry and geography agnostic.
