Capital Markets

With Basel II, IFRS, financial crime and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to contend with, the Capital Markets sector already had plenty on its plate before the seismic changes forced on it by current market conditions. Meanwhile the search for the next new products and structures intensifies as firms seek advantage in a constricting market. Only transformational change will be enough to meet the challenges facing the industry and our Capital markets team is well placed to advise.

Our deep industry knowledge, experience and technical expertise across consulting, accounting, tax and corporate finance enable us to add value throughout the organisation – from systems and processes, risk management and IT integration to helping front desks understand the implications of new products and structures from a variety of perspectives.

Capital markets issues and trends

  • Independent Commission on Banking
    In its final report, published on 12 September 2011, the Independent Commission on Banking proposed radical changes to the way banks authorised in the UK structure themselves and manage their retail banking activities.
  • Living Wills
    Regulation regarding recovery and resolution plans for banks is currently considered by many national and international regulators.
  • Market infrastructure – the changing landscape
    The European financial trading markets are supported by a wide range of market infrastructure. This market infrastructure landscape is evolving but the “right” direction of that development is not universally agreed.
  • Remuneration
    Remuneration within the capital markets and investment banking sector is in the spotlight as never before. The economic downturn – and perceptions of the sector’s responsibility for bringing it about – have drawn disproportionate hostile public and media attention to executive pay.
