medium · Frm Part 2 Operational Risk

A bank's Internal Rating Based (IRB) model for a loan portfolio produces a Probability of Default (PD) of 2%. The bank's validation team notes that the 'Accuracy Ratio' (AR) of the model has dropped from 0.75 to 0.45.

What is the primary concern for the bank?

  1. The model's Type 1 error rate in backtesting is too high, leading to excessive capital charges.
  2. The model's discriminatory power is failing; it can no longer effectively distinguish between 'good' and 'bad' borrowers.
  3. The model's calibration is failing; the predicted 2% PD is significantly different from realized default rates.
  4. The model's LGD estimate is likely overstated, as LGD and AR are positively correlated.
