Streamlining CCAR Stress Testing
3:30 pm – 4:15 pm
Lucas Budman, Chief Technology Officer of Cognilytics,
Banks are being subject to numerous and ever-increasing regulatory stress-testing pressures: Basel II, CCAR, EBA, etc.
While most banks have cobbled together the data and the reporting needs for such stringent requirements, these current
processes are labor-intensive and inflexible and lack sufficient model governance and model risk management rigor. These
current processes also do not provide a mechanism for the effective and efficient execution of multiple iterations. To address
these issues, banks are looking for a centralized stress-testing environment that includes a set of pre-packaged domainspecific data and predictive models as well as a high-performance computational platform to manage different stress-testing
demands. Banks are also requiring additional orchestration and scenario management capabilities that enable multiple
iterations/what-if scenarios, which provide credit-risk analysis at a loan/pool/portfolio level to generate cash flows and finegrained predictive model execution.

Anthony O’Donnell, The Economist
Join insurance industry expert and commentator Anthony O'Donnell as he unveils a new global executive survey conducted

scale, insurers have acquired a reputation of lagging technologically over the past few decades. However, recent innovations
around Big Data and analytics allow insurers to reassert themselves as leaders. Because of the nature of the business,
insurers have already distinguished themselves in areas such as predictive modeling, and now, because insurance is a

detailed results and then ask a distinguished group of insurance industry executives to join him on stage for a lively panel
discussion.
