Capital Markets

Meeting your requirements head on

The economic crisis has placed greater pressure on the dynamics of the capital markets. Political, economic and corporate events continue to influence heavily on market volatility and direction. In this new environment higher capital requirements, cost of regulatory burden and market volatility are just some of the challenges capital markets participants are facing. BDO can help clients meet these challenges head on. We have a deep understanding of risk and regulatory, accounting, valuation systems and controls issues.

 We remain close to the FSA and other regulators so we are constantly updated on emerging regulations and can act immediately to ensure our clients have a robust risk management strategy. We provide a full range of audit, assurance, advisory and tax services to capital markets firms and help our clients stay on top of major changes in the industry and are abreast of all issues including:

  • The future of UK regulation
  • Changes to the FSA client asset rules
  • OTC market’s moving towards central counterparty clearing
  • Staff retention, recruitment and motivation and changes to the remuneration code
  • Strengthening liquidity standards
  • The future of UK GAAP and “publicly accountable” entities moving to full IFRS

We run a regular Wholesale Markets Risk and Regulatory Forum where market participants can exchange views on key issues and emerging challenges in an open environment, but under strict Chatham House rule.
