A.5 Model and Data Governance

1. What is the role of model management in STSA?

   It allows users to register, validate, and approve risk models for stress testing.

2. How do I import external models into STSA?

   Use the Model Management feature to upload third-party models.

3. How do I manage variables in STSA?

   Navigate to Variables, to create, edit, and delete variables.

4. How do I approve or reject models in STSA?

   Models must be reviewed and approved by users with appropriate roles.

5. What are pre-seeded glossaries, and how are they used?

   Pre-seeded glossaries contain predefined financial terms used for standardization.

   Use the built-in validation and audit features to check data quality.

10. How can I ensure that the same models and processes used in production are used in stress testing as well?

    To ensure that the same models and processes from production are available in stress testing:

    • Migrate Metadata – Use the Object Migration feature to move models, rules, and configurations from production to the ST workspace.
    • Use Version Control – Maintain a version-controlled repository of models to track updates and apply consistent versions across environments.
    • Perform Regular Syncing – Periodically sync models and processes between production and the ST workspace to ensure alignment.
