Ten Key Regulatory Challenges for Banks

Endurance Advisory insight cover: Ten Key Regulatory Challenges for Banks

Banks are operating under a level of regulatory intensity rarely seen. The pressure does not come from net-new regulation alone. It comes from the combined volume of regulatory issuances, the complexity and breadth of supervision, and the way these changes reach across the whole organization.

KPMG Regulatory Insights tracks this in its annual report, Ten Key Regulatory Challenges of 2024, which sets out the major regulations to watch and the actions banks should consider. Its Regulatory Barometer measures regulatory intensity as a forward-looking indicator of where supervision is heading.

We expect 2024 to bring continued economic fluctuation, election-year uncertainty, and legal challenges, all adding to regulatory intensity that is already elevated.

Model Risk Management: What It Is and Why It Matters

Model Risk Management (MRM) is a systematic process used by financial institutions (FIs) to govern, evaluate, and mitigate risks related to the utilization of mathematical models and quantitative techniques in their operations, particularly in the context of internal controls and governance for financial operations. These procedures are designed to reduce risks stemming from models and ensure their effective management. Initially considered necessary mainly for large banks employing data-driven forecasting models, this expectation now extends to smaller and midsize banks as well. Errors in spreadsheets and the data supporting them have become commonplace, especially given the advanced data modeling required for portfolio management and asset-liability management, which are both heavily reliant on data and models.
