Unifying risk and regulation

The global financial services industry is still very fragile following the credit crunch and those who survive will continue to be under pressure to meet the new climate of increased risk management and regulatory change - which shows no sign of slowing down.

Significant resource has been and continues to be invested in how it might have all been avoided – but more positively regulators and firms are engaged in ensuring it doesn’t happen again.

Firms now realise that a major part of the problem, resulting in the crisis, was not being able to get a clear picture across a company’s entire operation. No stronger indication can be given that the silo approach to risk management and reporting is damaging - as one department’s success can be another’s downfall.

Firms now recognise that to overcome these issues, and to gain stability, they need to adopt a more sophisticated and holistic reporting platform that can provide full oversite, integrate all types of risk and create an environment where internal and external reporting are “as one”.

  • Risk management and regulatory compliance are conjoined and this must be recognised to ensure recovery and stability
  • Risk profitability analysis and regulatory reporting enter a new era, with stress testing and reporting showing yesterday’s, today’s and tomorrow’s results

The FRSGlobal product range addresses these needs and at the heart of every FRSGlobal solution is DataFoundation – a clearly defined, standardised data model that facilitates the streamlined collection of contractual, account, risk and transactional information into one true global definition of data.
