With a veritable regulatory tsunami sweeping the financial industry, regulation and compliance have become a top management responsibility. Because of their structure and cross-border business activities, financial services companies have to meet complex regulatory compliance and regulatory reporting requirements. If they fall short in terms of the identification and interpretation of regulatory changes (e.g. EU Action Plan Sustainable Finance, BRRD, EU intermediate Parent Undertaking Regulation, MiFID ll, Basel V, STS Regulation, PRI, PRB, TCFD), they risk overlooking potential pitfalls and missing out on valuable opportunities.
On the other side of the regulatory equation, the challenge for regulators, central banks and international standard setters is to handle the economic and legal/regulatory treatment of developments in areas such as Sustainable Finance, central bank digital currencies and new regulatory standards – and to create a crypto and sustainability framework that provides adequate protection while enabling these novel technologies and models to flourish.
PwC's Strategic Regulatory & Sustainability Services makes the whole equation work: on the one hand by helping financial institutions identify regulatory changes early on and analyse their strategic impact, and on the other by helping governments, regulatory bodies to define a robust and effective regulatory framework.
Our interdisciplinary team focuses on providing financial institutions with strategic impact assessment throughout the process of identifying and analysing new regulatory initiatives. Our strength lies in our ability to understand the regulatory requirements and their potential impacts on your business as the basis for tailor-made analysis and guidance on where you could be taking action.
With its experience of delivering country-specific regulatory analysis and its profound government, industry and legal knowledge, our team is also uniquely equipped to advise regulators and governments on how to handle regulatory challenges.
