2. IMPROVE MODEL GOVERNANCE AND LOWER MODEL RISK
❑ The requirement for proper model risk management can be a government mandate or driven by principles-based regulatory
guidance, or perhaps there is no external regulatory oversight what so ever. Regardless, model risk management is smart
business practice and you should be doing it whether the regulators require it or not. More and more of critical, day to day
business decisions are based on models. If there is no governance of those models, you are tolerating an ever-increasing and
unnecessary level of inherent risk.
❑ The challenge is that effective model risk management takes resources. It needs people and their time to perform specific tasks
and that costs money. In addition, there is a cultural dynamic in that the talented, innovative employee who is driving the use
of models is typically resistant to any type of governance and views risk management as a drag on their productivity.
❑ The answer lies in the use of technology to automate many (not all) of the historically manual processes that were the
mainstay of older model risk management practice. CIMCON’s technology can enable you to identify and track these risks, as
well as implement the appropriate level of controls that align with your risk tolerance. The best practices of model risk
management are well established, and CIMCON can’t help you with all of them, but we can automate some helping to
simultaneously reduce the cost and the risk.
❑ Create a Account enabling you to manage up to ten models at no change.

4. CIMCON's EUC Insight Change Management enterprise software has been successfully implemented in our company since 2008. We chose
CIMCON after other similar tools did not meet business requirements. Initial Configuration is very simple and straightforward, and once
set up EUC Insight Change Management just does its job with very little maintenance and no impact on users whatsoever. We have
currently brought 65,000 spreadsheets under the control of EUC Insight Change Management at 3 locations, 2 in the U.K. and one in
Germany. The performance, scalability and ease of use of the software in handling this large number of files has been impressive. The tool
has been very valuable for the business as it has reduced trading risk resulting from spreadsheet errors, provided compliance with external
auditing requirements, and delivered valuable business insight into spreadsheet changes. The software has proved its value many times
over by tracking critical spreadsheet changes that can have a huge impact on trading worth millions of pounds but would have gone
undetected without EUC Insight Change Management . CIMCON's customer service team has been 'absolutely brilliant' in answering any
questions that arise.
