Budget Cost Level Transaction Risk Scoring Modeling
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) is a United States government corporation and agency of the United States. The Ex-Im Bank has a requirement for Budget Cost Level (BCL) Transaction Risk Scoring Modelling. Ex-Im Bank has used the same transaction risk scoring system for over 10 years. The Ex-Im Bank's Audit Committee would like to better understand current best practices and a have a contractor conduct a detailed analysis to compare Ex-Im Bank with its peers, and provide an assessment on whether the Bank is utilizing the most up to date risk measurement process. The Ex-Im Bank requires a contractor to review and evaluate the current Budget Cost Level process that Ex-Im has in place and to assess and validate the transaction risk scoring model as a predictor of default with the overall goal of identifying potential improvements in risk scoring models, effectiveness of models, gauge of accuracy, and a comparison of Ex-Im practices with peer groups and best practices, such as other ECA's and private sector organizations. The Ex-Im Bank envisions such a project would involve two to three phases of effort over an eight to nine month period of performance.
