The Model Risk Management Guideline sets out the AMF’s expectations for all stages of a model’s lifecycle, from the rationale for modeling to model decommissioning. It also includes specific expectations relating to governance and for the model risk management framework. This guideline brings together in one place the general provisions relating to model usage by financial institutions.
