- Bridges gap between IFRS9 CECL expected loss models and conservative Pillar1 with Pillar2 covering all risks
- Inefficiencies in scenario design data integration validation and reporting cause hidden conservatism
- Regulatory scrutiny and crises drive new modeling approaches as old calibrations show fragility
- AI ML aid in data quality anomaly detection and reverse stress testing but need human oversight
