Sr. Capital Market Specialist/Sr. Business Analyst
Responsibilities:- Determine solutions to minimize or eliminate risks by Use the Monte Carlo Simulation model to determine which Assuming Institutions have the largest and number of performing loans charge-offs in the Shared Loss Program that adversely affect the DIF. The model reveals at the right inflection point of the concave curve, the bulk of AI’s with performing loans charge-offs are nestled.
- The Certificate Data Integrity Investigation Model (CDII) was developed out of the need to validate the accuracy of AI’s payment vouchers. The model evaluate Shared Loss data at the granular asset level in four criteria: (I) Accrued Interest Failure (no claims paid on non-accrued loans), (II) Performing Loans Charge-offs (no claims paid on loans less than 90 days past-due), (III) Duplicate Charge-offs (no claims pay more than once on one appraisal), and (IV) Loss Severity (no claims paid in excesses of 110% of loan). To-date the model has identified $53,129,784 in findings; the FDIC has already clawed back $31,109,649. Result to-date 59% return.
- Develop tool for senior management to manage level of regulatory compliance and internal compliance reviews of Share Loss claims in the HQ office by apply theories, concepts, and practices of statistics, data analysis, variance estimation, survey, sampling design, statistical computing, modeling and simulation develop a Regression Analysis Model to determine the appropriate level Charge-offs and determine number of reviews to be conducted in the HQ office. The study took the 2013 Shared Loss Payments of $2.96 billion and 2,450 certifications processed. RSAM needed to determine the appropriate asset level charge-offs and asset count to be reviewed in the HQ office. The results revealed by the use of regression analysis, set charge-off level at =>$2.5MM, 286 certification will be reviewed, or 79% of total payments. However, when asset level charge-off is set at =>$5MM, 137 will be reviewed or 61% or $1.8 billion of Shared Loss payments will be covered. Therefore, the study shows that at the $2.5MM and above, 108% more certifications will have to be reviewed, but only 18% more payments will be covered. Conclusion demonstrated that the maximum efficiency level will be at the $5MM and above level. The recommendation at the $5MM charge-off level was accepted by senior management.
