How model builders and model auditors work together

Our heads of model development and model audit on what the relationship between builder and auditor should be, and what it should never be.

Webinar · Recording · Presented by Tom Brichieri-Colombi and Jerome Brice · 28 April 2022

In transactions and investment, the financial model audit is a central part of due diligence, and it often needs close interaction between model builder and model auditor. In this webinar Tom Brichieri-Colombi and Jerome Brice, our heads of model development and model audit, discuss that relationship: what it should be, and what it should never be.

The webinar shows how to build good collaboration between the parties, so that a model audit adds real value to the decision.

What you will learn

  • How the financial model audit works and where it fits in a transaction
  • Independence, the self-review threat and professional scepticism
