**About the Group**

The Group (MRGR) is responsible for conducting model validation to help identify, measure, and mitigate Model Risk.

- Identify market conditions under which a model's performance may degrade.
- Liaise with FO, Finance and Risk professionals to monitor usage and performance of the models and syndicate the findings of model validation.
