Stress testing is a balanced combination of historical as well as forward looking knowledge, such as statistical data, empirical observations and expert judgment. It exploits quantitative methods, but it is also subjective by depending on the input of the risk management of the bank.

Master Data Management’s Managing Director, Gary Allemann, has been invited to speak at the Stress Testing & Risk Management in banking conference to be held in Johannesburg on the 2nd and 3rd of September this year.
