The goal of the Model Validation Department is to limit the model risk of the ABN AMRO bank to acceptable levels. This is achieved by (a) developing state of the art validation standards, (b) defining a complete and compliant validation governance, and (c) by performing the actual validations of all of risk models. 

Model Validation covers all risk models; for instance credit risk, market risk, counterparty credit risk, interest rate risk and/ or liquidity risk. Furthermore, Model Validation performs as a center of expertise by sharing knowledge on modelling, validation and regulatory compliancy with all our stakeholders. The task of a Validator comes with a large amount of responsibility. 

Key relationships of the MV department are: 

- Senior (Risk) Management of ABN Amro; 
- Management in Business Lines C&MB and R&PB of ABN Amro; 
- Model Developers and users of risk models at ABN Amro; 
- Expertise centers in Risk (like Basel Center); 
- Internal Auditors; 
- External Regulatory Bodies (like DNB, ECB). 
- Model implementation departments at ABN Amro.

The Model Validation department is a part of the Central Risk Management department (CRM). Model Validation operates independently of the other risk departments at ABN Amro (including model development) to ensure the objectivity of the validation process. Furthermore, the Head of Model Validation has an official escalation reporting line to the CRO of ABN Amro. The Model Validation department consists of a Head of Model Validation, a Vice Head of Model Validation, Senior Model Validators and Model Validators. In total you will have about 15 direct colleagues.
