⚖️ Financial Services AI Readiness

SR 11-7 was written for statistical models. Regulators expect the same rigor from your AI.

The Federal Reserve and OCC's model risk management guidance applies to AI systems as much as traditional models. Most financial institutions don't have the documentation, validation workflows, or governance infrastructure that examined AI requires.

Covers model risk and compliance dimensions.

Financial regulators don't care that your AI is a black box. They expect an audit trail.

Model Risk

SR 11-7 Model Validation Gaps

Deep learning models used for credit decisions, fraud detection, or trading are subject to SR 11-7. Without independent model validation, ongoing monitoring procedures, and challenger models, you're creating examined risk.

Audit Trail

SOX-Compliant AI Decision Logging

Any AI system that touches financial reporting or internal controls falls under SOX. These systems need complete decision audit trails, change management controls, and documented human oversight procedures.

Fair Lending

Algorithmic Bias & ECOA Exposure

AI-driven underwriting, pricing, and credit decisions carry ECOA and fair lending liability if disparate impact analysis isn't built into the model development and monitoring lifecycle from day one.

Compliance Frameworks

We know what your examiners are looking for.

Financial services AI sits at the intersection of banking regulation, securities law, and emerging AI-specific guidance. Praxient's readiness work covers the regulatory requirements that matter to your examiners.

SR 11-7

Federal Reserve / OCC Model Risk Management

The foundational guidance for model governance. Covers model inventory, independent validation, ongoing monitoring, and the escalation procedures examiners check during safety and soundness reviews.

SOX

Sarbanes-Oxley Internal Controls

AI systems integrated into financial close processes, reporting pipelines, or internal control monitoring require documented change management, audit trails, and human-in-the-loop oversight procedures.

SEC AI

SEC AI Guidance for Investment Advisers

SEC's evolving AI guidance for registered investment advisers and broker-dealers. Covers conflicts of interest in AI-driven recommendations, disclosure requirements, and supervisory obligations.

ECOA / FCRA

Fair Lending & Fair Credit Reporting

Disparate impact testing, adverse action notice requirements for AI-driven credit decisions, and the explainability obligations that apply when AI influences consumer credit outcomes.

The same four disciplines — built for examined institutions.

01

Model Inventory & Data Readiness Audit

Map every AI and ML model against SR 11-7 requirements. Identify data quality gaps in model training sets, feature engineering processes, and model monitoring pipelines that examiners will flag.

02

Regulatory Use Case Prioritization

Rank AI opportunities by regulatory complexity and risk tier — separating high-scrutiny use cases (credit decisions, trading) from lower-risk applications so you sequence the hard work correctly.

03

Model Risk Governance Framework

Build SR 11-7-aligned governance: model cards, independent validation procedures, challenger model requirements, ongoing performance monitoring, and fair lending disparity testing protocols.

04

Examination-Ready AI Roadmap

A phased deployment plan structured around your exam cycle and regulatory obligations — ensuring AI systems are documentable, auditable, and defensible before they go into production.
