Bank and finance

 

Everything from rapid technological and regulatory changes to increasingly demanding customer requirements, means that organizations that provide financial services face a complicated puzzle of challenges and opportunities.

 

I need help with:

Asset management

Asset management has been through extensive regulatory changes. In addition, there are challenges such as strong competition, volatile markets and greater demands for transparency. This means that topics such as better governance, compliance with external regulatory frameworks, product innovation, fee structure and how to ensure good decision and management information become essential. Increasing pressure on costs and maintaining market share in an industry that is consolidating makes it vital to have the right business model and efficient operations.

The asset management industry faces many challenges. With PwC's experienced specialists we can help to turn challenges into business opportunities. We offer experienced auditors, consultants and lawyers as well as a global network of specialists.

Bank and other financial institutions

The banking industry is subject to an extensive regulatory framework and we expect to see continuous changes and new requirements from the authorities going forward. This is in addition to significant challenges in the global financial markets. This means that topics such as better control and monitoring of funding and optimal capitalisation, the implementation of Basel III as well as changes to IFRS, require good decision and management information at all time. Increased pressure on costs and the need for positive growth in market share make it important to have the right business model and efficient operations.

Insurance

The insurance industry is facing major regulatory changes going forward. This is in addition to the challenges of climate change, low interest rates and extended life expectancy. This means that topics such as better control and monitoring of capitalisation and capital allocation, the transition to Solvency II, changes to IFRS and tax legislation, plus good decision  and management information is essential.
