FIMA Boot Camp

09:00 - 09:05 Creating a Business Case for Data Management
There is a misconception that data management is an IT issue and a culture shift is required to help different parts of the business understand responsibilities for data management. How do you convince people of the benefits of data management that won’t be realized for 2 years out? How can you make a business case around different disciplines? How do you convince people its worth changing? This boot camp session will outline how to create a business case for data management to get senior level buy in and prime the organization for a culture shift.

FIMA Boot Camp

09:00 - 09:05 Defining Data Governance Across the Organization
The cost of not doing data governance is a higher propensity for operating losses. Governance goes beyond just filling out reports for regulators. Financial institutions need to build more robust, complete and integrated processes from front to back to generate better information for the organization. How can you best align data governance with the broader data management project to push them out together? How do you improve the maturity and sustainability of governance? During this boot camp session find out how to establish a sound and robust governance structure to stand up to regulators by creating a network of data stewards suitable to the size of your organization to serve as subject matter experts to understand the needs of the business.

As we move forward, stress tests have made huge changes to how banks keep data and how they’re expected to use and know it. Nancy Wallace Chairs the Model Validation Council for the Federal Reserve System and she is working to build models that link data sets together and better understand new housing price indices which are critical for all valuation as part of the stress tests.
Nancy will discuss:
• The evolutions in housing pricing and new data linkages
• Building systems to manage and hold data from an ontological approach
• New methods to understand contracting structures more visibly
