Changing regulatory reporting requirements

Read how Accenture can help financial service companies adapt to changing requirements through risk evaluation and innovative technologies.

Overview

The European Banking Authority and European Union are currently leading two major regulatory operations: the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD IV) and the associated Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) that have become effective on January 1, 2014, and Solvency II that is expected to become effective on January 1, 2016.
