About ValuRisk Partners

ValuRisk Partners provides customized model validation and model risk management (MRM) consulting services to banks, credit unions, and fintechs. Model validation is a regulatory requirement, but for many institutions, it becomes a source of friction, generating findings that are difficult to remediate, unclear in priority, or disconnected from how models are actually used. ValuRisk Partners was founded to deliver a better experience. We combine regulatory rigor with practical judgment, delivering independent validation that meets supervisory expectations while remaining grounded in real-world banking and risk management practices. Our approach emphasizes clarity, proportionality, and efficiency - helping clients focus attention on what matters most. While many engagements begin to satisfy regulatory requirements, our work often helps clients: • Strengthen model governance and ongoing monitoring • Improve assumptions, controls, and supporting documentation • Increase confidence in model outputs used for risk management, financial decision-making, and regulatory reporting ValuRisk Partners specializes in validation across interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and financial crimes, including CECL, ALM/IRR, liquidity stress testing, and BSA/AML models. ValuRisk Partners was founded by Josh Salzberg, a banking and model risk professional with nearly 25 years of experience across financial modeling, risk management, and independent model validation.
