Regulatory reporting
In the financial sector – partly prompted by the financial crisis – we see an increasing amount of standardised reporting required by supervisors in the financial sector. The banking sector is leading these changes with important contributions being made by the EBA, ECB and ESMA within the EU, and by the FED, in particular, in the United States.
Portfolio and Transaction Management
Lenders and investors, as well as lenders between themselves, have different objectives, different cost structures, different perceptions of risk and are regulated differently. Furthermore, these differences can also change over time. This means the value of the same loan or portfolio of loans will differ now or in the future amongst market participants.
