The banking sector is under more scrutiny than ever. The way risks are managed has never been more important, and a torrent of new regulation means yet more complexity. Banks that respond quickly and decisively will have the advantage.
We advise banks and building societies to plan for - and stay on top of - their key risks to add real commercial benefit and counter major problems and threats.
What's on your Mind?
- Ensuring operational and risk models meet emerging regulatory requirements (e.g. FSA directives, forthcoming Independent Banking Commission, Basel III reviews and others).
- How to transform the governance, risk and compliance operating model from Board level downwards.
- Operating efficiently and effectively in a capital and liquidity constrained environment.
- Addressing fraud, bribery and corruption, market abuse, data security and other financial crime risks, perhaps due to regulatory intervention or an alleged/discovered event.
- Impending legal action.

Case Study
A large bank faced considerable challenge from the UK FSA in relation to its effectiveness around risk governance, associated control functions and supporting processes.
We assembled a highly skilled team of governance, risk and regulatory transformation specialists to review the current risk and governance model, benchmark against peer and good practice models, design a future framework aligned with the needs of the business, corporate strategy and regulatory expectations with the following outcomes:
- The recommended Target Operating Model (TOM) was positively viewed by the FSA.
- KPMG assisted with a detailed implementation of the TOM with FSA concurrence.
- The client avoided the possibility of a mandatory independent regulatory review.
- The client’s revised risk governance arrangements have performed well during the recent market turbulence.

Banks need to consider substantial changes to working practices, but also consider the need to evolve cultural and behavioural aspects regarding customer complaints
