  2. Oversee the development and implementation of new models or modifications to existing models used for various purposes, such as credit and capital risk assessment, pricing, and forecasting.
  3. Assess the potential risks associated with the use of specific models, including model limitations, assumptions, and uncertainties, and implement controls to mitigate these risks.
  4. Monitor the performance of models over time to identify any issues or changes in model behavior, engaging model owner in taking corrective actions as necessary.
  5. Ensure comprehensive documentation is developed and maintained for all models, including specific model documentation, validation reports, and related policies and procedures.
  6. Identify and maintain the Bank's Model Inventory and complete Risk Assessment for each model.
  7. Identify and maintain the Bank's EUC Tool Inventory.
  8. Understand and analyze the Bank's quantitative models and the risks around their usage.
  9. Enforce consistent model documentation standards.
  10. Develop data validation standards and assess the data quality that feeds into models.
  11. Track management responses and corrective action plans related to findings noted in validation reports to ensure appropriate and timely closure.
  12. Conduct ongoing model and end-user computing tool monitoring to ensure continued acceptable performance and determine appropriate responses when performance is unacceptable.
  13. Address model-related risks (including data quality considerations) in executing on the Bank's 2nd line responsibilities relating to new initiatives, vendor, data controls, oversight, and governance.
  14. Continuously review and enhance the model risk management framework and processes to adapt to changing business needs, regulatory requirements, and industry best practices.
  15. Report to key stakeholders, including senior management, risk committees, auditors, and regulators, regarding model risk management activities, findings, and recommendations.

  17. Oversee monitoring of ongoing model performance to assess model accuracy, reliability, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal standards.
