Operational Regulatory Service
Relieving the pressure of regulatory change
With many financial services companies finding it increasingly hard to handle changing regulations and implement the new rules efficiently and compliantly, a growing number are seeking outside support. The bodies responsible for setting and enforcing the new rules are also under incredible pressure.
In the next three years the industry will have to contend with more than 100 new regulations – added to the hundreds it already has to comply with. MiFID II, PRIIP and GDPR merely pave the way for the next wave of new rules. Upcoming challenges include the Swiss equivalents, such as FinSA (FIDLEG)/FinIA (FINIG), the revised data protection act, the EBA Outsourcing Standards, and the EU’s Sustainable Finance Regulation.
PwC’s dedicated Operational Regulatory team is there to relieve the regulatory pressure – whether you’re a bank or a financial intermediary. Call us if you need expert relief.
