How BearingPoint brings value

Implementing the increasingly complex regulatory requirements requires the close collaboration of different skills. They span from functional, organisational and methodological knowledge to mathematical and technical expertise – as well as understanding the regulatory regime and its application in various countries.

Working with both business and IT people, a joint effort is key in solving the requirements of growing functional complexity, increasing amounts of data and less tolerance for late report delivery or imprecise results. Understanding the underlying business as well as the individual needs of the different departments in a bank is a prerequisite in solving new regulatory requirements in an efficient and effective manner.

As one of the leading consultancies in risk management and banking regulation, BearingPoint combines the required skills which have been developed and proven during many successful client engagements throughout Europe and globally. As the provider of the leading regulatory reporting software ABACUS/DaVinci we are acquainted with both the theory and practice of banking regulation.
