Worldwide, senior executives and managers in financial and non-financial firms are expected to make crucial business decisions based on the results of complex risk models. Yet interpreting the findings, understanding the limitations of the models and recognizing the assumptions that underpin them present considerable challenges for all but those with a background in specialized quantitative financial modeling.

The use of these quantitative risk models was blamed as being one of the major causes of the financial crisis that began in 2007. This report shows how risk models are constructed and why they play such an important role in financial markets. It provides a holistic approach to Risk Model Validation that will enable you, when faced with a specific risk model, to work out a step-by-step guide to asking the right questions in order to judge the validity of the model.

Mathematical modelling, implementation, data gathering, processes, reporting and the way senior management “digests” all this information will all be covered.

An essential part of a decision-maker’s armoury, Risk Model Validation provides an intensive guide to asking the key questions when integrating the outputs of quantitative modeling into everyday business decisions.
