SIMM Model Development and Validation Documentation support for a top European Investment Bank
Client : A Top European Investment Bank
Objective
- The client wanted to comprehensively document SIMM model development and validation steps taken before applying to NFA for the approval
CRISIL's solution

- Discussion with development and validation teams on the tests to be covered, best practices and SR11-7 elements for Model development and Validation documents
- Designed a calculator on MS-Excel for the client so that they can show the results of their system generated SIMM results at an easier platform capturing all calculation steps
- Had series of meetings with multiple teams across locations to identify IT, Treasury, Risk, Audit related processes in model development and validation , recommendations provided on gaps
Client impact
- Two comprehensive documents (model development and validation) submitted for NFA approval before deadline
- CRISIL helped to streamline the vague process with its experience and make the deliveries at a good scale to client before deadline, in spite of the challenges
