Validation of internal models

This page presents the objectives, criteria, schedule and basic documentation corresponding to the implementation of advanced risk management models in Spain, within the framework of the supervisory transparency policy of the Banco de España.

It also explains the validation processes that entities must carry out in order for these models to serve as a basis for calculating minimum capital requirements.

Finally, we describe the Banco de España's outlook on development and collaboration between the different supervision authorities of the active international financial groups.
