Danske Bank's Group Internal Audit function (GIA) offers independent assurance and provides insights that matter to the Board of Directors and the Executive Leadership Team. We are committed to adding value, identifying and suggesting improvements to the control environment while supporting the Group's business strategies and sustainability agenda. We're seeking a new colleague for our Model Risk Audit team to assess and report on model risk management, data risk management, and regulatory compliance with updated risk regulations.
Thrive with Diversity - Act with Integrity
The Model Risk Audit team conducts operational audits of model risk across the Group, guided by our audit methodology. Joining our team also means becoming part of an innovative and highly professional audit function of approximately 100 professionals from diverse backgrounds and specialties. Our new domicile, Copenhagen Central, is GIA’s home base, but we also offer alternative office sites in the Group’s core markets outside Denmark.
Join a Distinguished Team of Specialists within GIA
Your role involves auditing model risk development, validation, and management processes, with a focus on IRB (the Internal Rating Based approach) and model risk. Our audits also cover governance structures and data utilized for credit, counterparty, liquidity, market risks, and other types of models. You'll stay updated on model development activities, engage in risk assessments, and carry out audits, using your analytical skills to present your work to senior management and financial supervisors. Success in this role requires curiosity and the readiness to challenge current processes. Knowledge and understanding of regulatory changes, such as the CRR/CRD, EBA guidelines on internal models, ECB TRIM guide, etc., remain crucial.
