ValuRisk Partners is hosting a registration session on CECL model validation with the Accolade team on Wednesday.

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.
