The banks Finance & Treasury functions have assessed their existing model risk practices and identified areas for improvement. To address these, a six-month improvement programme has been mobilised with three key initiatives: Model Implementation building a proof-of-concept (POC) model execution framework on AWS. Model Monitoring developing a POC monitoring framework to standardise oversight and performance testing. Model Documentation defining gold standard documentation templates across the Finance model lifecycle. These initiatives will act as foundational pillars for achieving a compliance plus assessment against PRA SS1/23. They are business-led by Finance & Treasury with support from Technology, and supplemented with specialist external resources.
