Document Checker

The ValidMind Document Checker is a compliance tool that reviews documents against a selected regulatory standard. Use the Document Checker to identify gaps, generate actionable recommendations, and focus your efforts on areas that require attention. The Document Checker uses a structured checklist to:

  • Assess whether required information or evidence is clearly documented or attached
  • Identify missing or weak areas in the document
  • Offer guidance on how to improve clarity, completeness, and compliance
  • Ensure consistency with regulatory expectations for risk and governance

Customizing the ValidMind Document Checker to support your organization’s unique regulatory requirements and policies helps start quality assurance early in the model lifecycle and enables individual contributors to actively participate in risk-management oversight.


By default, ​ValidMind supports the following regulations:

  • Federal Reserve Supervisory Letter SR 11-7 (United States)
  • Bank of England Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) Supervisory Statement SS1/23 (United Kingdom)
  • Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) Guideline E-23 (Canada)
  • European Union Artificial Intelligence Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, EU AI Act)
