Regulatory Risk Management
Financial markets regulation has never been so much in focus. In the banking sector, many banks had not completed their Basel II programmes when the financial crisis hit and the BIS came forward with its Basel III proposals. The extensive regulatory response to the financial crisis, emanating from the G20 agreements, which includes the Dodd-Frank Act and the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR), also places substantial demands on institutions to adapt to new rules and market structures. The buy side has also seen substantial change through the UCITS regulations, and Solvency II has been a major priority for institutions in the insurance sector.
Maintaining visibility of regulatory change is essential to allow the implications to be identified and business, operations and technology changes to be executed in order to ensure compliance.
