Numerix to Host Upcoming Webinar – “Model Risk - Assessment, Regulation, and Best Practices”

New York, NY – February 20, 2013 – Numerix (www.numerix.com), the leading provider of cross-asset analytics for derivatives valuations and risk management, will host a complimentary webinar on Tuesday, February 26th at 10:00 AM EST where featured speaker Satyam Kancharla, Chief Strategy Officer & SVP of Client Solutions Group will discuss model risk assessment, regulation and best practices.

Robust quantitative models have been an essential component of risk management and analysis for decades, but have dramatically increased in sophistication and complexity over the last few years. Recent high-profile model failures have also emphasized the importance of modeling practices that employ stringent implementation, validation and review techniques to manage hidden risks – risks within models themselves. As a result, Model Risk is increasingly on every risk manager’s radar.

Mr. Kancharla will cover the following key topics in the webinar:

•    The Evolution of Model Risk

     o    Market Factors

     o    Regulatory Drivers

     o    Industry Challenges

•    Model Risk Analysis – Assessment, Validation & Review Processes

     o    How is Model Risk Assessed?

     o    Is it Really Quantifiable?

     o    What about Data Quality?

•    Best Practices Case Study
