Reach SR_11_7_MRM readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
Federal Reserve + OCC Supervisory Letter SR 11-7 / OCC 2011-12 — Supervisory Guidance on Model Risk Management. The foundational US bank model-risk regulatory expectation framework, articulated for the largest BHCs but treated as the de-facto standard across the US banking + insurance industries + by FSB-watching supervisors globally. Defines model risk + the three pillars: model development, implementation + use; model validation; governance, policies + controls. Substantially extended by Federal Reserve SR 23-4 (interagency guidance on managing AI/ML in models). Quick Policy maps SR_11_7_MRM into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.

Standard facts
Why SR_11_7_MRM matters for your operating model

- • Directly shapes policy families including Model Risk, Ai Governance, Risk Management — these are the artefacts assessors open first.
- • Common artifacts include Policy.
- • Obligation model: Conditional — meaning you need defensible reasoning for in-scope vs out-of-scope decisions, not just signed policies.
