Background
Welcome to the new look edition of the Building Society Update
for 2013. Our annual publication aimed at professionals from
building societies and other retail financial services has been
updated to give a snapshot of the current issues affecting building
societies.
This year's issue includes our thoughts on how the market
can maintain momentum in the year ahead following a successful
2012. Hot topics covered in this issue include; the current
mortgage market and regulatory landscape; the Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA) and how building societies can prepare for
its implementation; and Internal Audit and its effectiveness within
the building society sector.
For more detail on any of these topics, please download the
