We are delighted to share our global FSR Outlook 2024: Finding solid ground
as the bedrock shifts. In 2024, the
character of change facing the financial industry is more
foundational – or fundamental – in nature than ever
before. From ESG to AI, the shape of the world we live in is
changing in a radical way.
This year, we chart the paths through the shifting landscape for
financial services businesses seeking solid ground. We explore the
following themes.
- Spinning plates – can financial services be regulated
efficiently, competitively, innovatively and prudently?
- Taming the machine – AI and the role of senior
managers
- ESG: disclosure, reporting, labelling, anti-greenwashing
requirements and beyond
- 'Do the right thing' – easier said than done
- The future of securities tokenisation and crypto regulation
– what you need to know
- Operational resilience – predicting the
unpredictable
- The evolution of individual accountability regimes
- Fit to fight financial crime
Our Outlook includes regional perspectives from our offices
around the world.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
