This team assists financial institutions across the Model Risk Management lifecycle and is widely regarded in the market place as the leading Credit Risk Modelling team. The primary objective our team is to design, build and implement credit risk models within the financial services industry, advising and influencing clients on how best to deliver value in the face of an ever increasing and complex regulatory agenda.
