Enterprise-Wide Model Risk Management Guideline This model risk guideline takes an enterprise-wide view that describes common policies and processes applicable to any model that could materially impact the risk profile of an institution. Guideline E-23 outlines prudent practices for internal model development, review, approval, use and modification. It also incorporates several revisions based on comments received from industry stakeholders during the public consultation period, which began in December 2016. OSFI excludes foreign bank branches from the scope of the Guideline, since it believes that it has the capacity to assess model risk management of these institutions within existing supervisory processes. However, it expects principal officers of foreign bank branches to be accountable for having appropriate risk controls for their models, where material. |
