The OCC is responsible for promoting the safety and soundness of the country's national banks and federal savings associations and maintaining its competitiveness, efficiency, integrity and stability in the financial marketplace. 3 SCOPE The OCC requires a one-day (8 hours) instructor-led classroom course covering industry best practices on scorecard design and development, model governance, and score validation. The training is part of OCC's Consumer Credit Basic Model Evaluation Seminar, which also includes components taught by OCC's Credit Risk Analysis Division specialists. The combined vendor and OCC training components provide examiners with a strong foundation to evaluate consumer models, equips them for better collaboration with the Credit Risk Analysis Division during examinations, and enables examiners to conduct their examination responsibilities effectively. One to three sessions will be offered annually over five years to a group of approximately 24 examiners. The training targets National Bank Examiners, experienced hires, and select pre-commission examiners with little or no consumer credit model evaluation experience, who are involved in examining or assisting in the examination of retail or mortgage banking activities in Community, Midsize or Large Banks. The industry best practices training is part of the OCC's Consumer Credit Model Basic Evaluation Training, which also includes components taught by experienced OCC bank examiners.
