Regulatory reporting: Now, next and beyond


In this brief, we highlight five key areas of focus of regulatory reporting and how EY can help develop strategies to handle what comes next.

The regulatory reform agenda has continued to evolve since the 2008 global financial crisis and has significantly changed how financial institutions are supervised and regulated.
