BANK REPORTING SCIENCES not only provides ALM modeling
and reporting services directly to financial institutions, but we also
validate models and the modeling and reporting services provided by
other firms. Our independence, combined with our expertise in ALM
for financial institutions make BRS one of the few firms in the country
qualified to provide this service.
Our Model Validation service provides a completely
confidential, objective, critical evaluation of your internal model or
of an outsourced modeling/reporting service. We evaluate your
existing process across a spectrum of categories, and grade each
category using our proprietary rating system. We then offer
specific recommendations for improvement in each area.
