Challenges
Given an increasing number of regulatory initiatives, a challenging market environment and rapid technological change, most finance and risk functions act in the eye of the hurricane.

- Staying on top of the regulatory agenda in terms of understanding upcoming initiatives, simulation of regulatory impacts and management of a highly complex change portfolio
- Ensuring the effective management and allocation of scarce capital, balance sheet and liquidity resources
- Sound measurement and effective management of credit, market, liquidity and operational risks, as well as new risk types, such as cyber-risk
