This marks the 20th iteration of Chartis\u2019 esteemed list. SAS is notably the only vendor that has placed in the Top 5 every year since the RiskTech100\u2019s 2005 debut.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe, like our customers, are navigating a transformative time, where the pace of change is accelerating \u2013 and the pace of SAS\u2019 innovation along with it,\u201d said Stu Bradley, Senior Vice President of Risk, Fraud and Compliance Solutions at SAS. \u201cFor financial firms like banks and insurers, staying competitive in today\u2019s environment requires deploying advanced analytics to drive decisions and automation at scale.

For the second straight year since this category award\u2019s debut, SAS claimed Chartis\u2019 top honors.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Balance Sheet Risk Management. After a nearly decade-long hiatus as a risk management focus, rising interest rates and 2023\u2019s bank failures returned this key component of asset and liability management to the spotlight. SAS\u2019 capabilities in helping financial institutions manage this complex, multidimensional facet of risk emerged as second-to-none.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Behavioral Modeling. A bank\u2019s ability to understand and forecast customers\u2019 behaviors and interactions based on ever-changing factors is critical to ensuring financial stability and consumer trust.

\u00b7 Enterprise Stress Testing.

\u00b7 IFRS 9. While this set of accounting rules helps improve transparency and consistency in banks\u2019 financial reporting, the computational complexity and workflow sophistication required to comply with its mandates is challenging. SAS\u2019 risk and finance integration experience and domain expertise in this realm earned Chartis\u2019 utmost recognition in this category. \u00b7 Model Risk Management (MRM). Effective model risk management is essential for safeguarding a bank’s financial integrity and helping ensure it operates in a responsible and compliant manner.
