Risk Management for Banks and PFS

Risk and complexity are inherent elements of our business environment. They can be found in new technologies, cyber threats, regulatory requirements and changes in accounting and tax rules. Risk is by far the greater threat, as it can easily spread over the globe undetected and has a much larger and far-reaching impact.

Our experienced risk management professionals can help you develop best practice governance, policies, systems, processes and methodologies to identify, measure, manage, reduce and report any risk that your institution is facing or might face in the future. The variety of topics covered includes but not limited to:

  • Governance and risk management framework (including ICAAP/ILAAP)

  • Financial and non-financial risks

  • Recovery and resolution planning

  • Risk modelling and quantitative analysis

  • Stress testing and scenarios analysis

  • IT and data management

  • Risk reporting (including COREP) and disclosures

  • Technologies and tools

We support a wide range of financial institutions, including credit institutions, payment institutions/electronic money institutions, asset management companies (in relation to the capital requirements) and insurance companies.
