The Bank of England's Supervisory Statement 1/23 (SS1/23) mandates rigorous model risk management (MRM) for financial institutions. This directive, which emphasizes lifecycle management, validation, and governance of AI models, requires UK banks to ensure their AI systems are compliant with these stringent guidelines. Kosmoy provides a powerful platform that enables banks to manage their AI applications with full SS1/23 compliance, addressing key areas such as model development, validation, and risk mitigation.
Understanding SS1/23 and Its Impact on AI Models
SS1/23 defines a model as any system or approach that processes data into quantitative estimates, making AI models central to compliance. Whether it's predictive analytics for credit risk or AI-driven fraud detection, banks must ensure that these AI models align with SS1/23's requirements. Kosmoy is designed to support banks through every stage of the AI model lifecycle, ensuring compliance from development through to deployment.
Kosmoy's Key Capabilities for SS1/23 Compliance
1. AI Model Identification and Risk Classification
SS1/23 mandates that banks establish a clear definition of AI models and implement a risk-based tiering system. Kosmoy supports this with a comprehensive model inventory, allowing banks to classify AI models based on their complexity, impact, and usage. With automated risk tiering, Kosmoy helps ensure that all AI models are managed according to their potential risk, fulfilling the SS1/23 requirement for clear model identification and classification.
2. Governance and Oversight of AI Models
Governance is a cornerstone of SS1/23, requiring strong oversight and clear accountability in model management. Kosmoy offers a centralized dashboard where banks can monitor the entire AI model lifecycle. This includes version control, model updates, and performance monitoring, providing transparency and ensuring that AI models operate within regulatory frameworks. Kosmoy’s governance features align with SS1/23’s demand for robust model governance, ensuring that all models are subject to rigorous oversight.
3. Development and Validation of AI Models
SS1/23 requires that AI models undergo thorough testing and validation to ensure their accuracy and reliability. Kosmoy simplifies the AI model development process with templated workflows, enabling efficient documentation, testing, and validation. Independent validation tools allow for continuous performance checks, ensuring that AI models are fit for purpose and meet SS1/23 standards throughout their lifecycle.
4. Model Risk Mitigation and Post-Model Adjustments
One of the critical requirements of SS1/23 is the need for effective model risk mitigants, including the management of post-model adjustments (PMAs). Kosmoy facilitates this through comprehensive workflows for documenting and approving PMAs. This ensures that any adjustments made to AI models post-deployment are thoroughly reviewed and aligned with regulatory expectations, enhancing overall model reliability.
5. End-to-End AI Model Lifecycle Management
Kosmoy covers all aspects of AI model lifecycle management, from creation and validation to deployment and ongoing monitoring. This end-to-end management ensures that AI models remain compliant throughout their operational life, meeting the full spectrum of SS1/23’s regulatory requirements.
