The Financial Sector Conduct Authority and Prudential Authority have released an updated application suite to standardize provider submissions for the Quantitative Portfolio Margin Model and Risk-Sensitive Quantitative Model-based Haircut Approach. Providers must complete four appendices covering model development, implementation, governance, and independent assurance while adhering to a three-stage sequential approval process that culminates in board endorsement. Opening on 1 August 2023, the revised framework replaces prior forms and mandates rigorous validation, independent testing, and comprehensive documentation to demonstrate full compliance with the 2020 Joint Standard.
