Dutch Financial Institutions Must Stay Ahead of Risk Management Curve

======================================================

Amidst a rapidly changing regulatory landscape and increasing pressure from global events, financial institutions in the Netherlands are facing unprecedented challenges when it comes to risk management. From sustainability concerns to prudential regulation, the stakes have never been higher for banks operating in this market.

Expert Guidance from KPMG’s Financial Risk Management Team


KPMG’s Financial Risk Management team is providing expert guidance to help Dutch banks navigate these complex issues and stay ahead of the curve. With a hands-on approach, our specialists are helping risk functions within banks structure and implement sustainable risk management practices that meet regulatory requirements.

Key Areas of Focus

Sustainability

The impact of climate change and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks on financial institutions cannot be ignored. As policymakers increasingly prioritize sustainability, Dutch banks must adapt their risk management strategies to reflect these changing priorities.

Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory compliance remains another major challenge for Dutch financial institutions, with an ever-growing burden of new rules and regulations. To stay ahead, banks must invest in data-driven and digital processes that enable efficient and effective risk management while also ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Risk Modeling

Risk modeling is another critical area where KPMG is supporting Dutch banks. With the increasing complexity of risk models, our experts are helping institutions develop robust model risk frameworks and automated model risk lifecycles to ensure reliable risk assessments.

Asset and Liability Management

In addition, asset and liability management continues to pose significant challenges for Treasury and Balance Sheet Management teams in Dutch financial institutions. As interest rates remain low and the global pandemic persists, KPMG is assisting banks in finding a balance between normative and economic limits while ensuring regulatory compliance.

Prudential Regulation

Lastly, prudential regulation remains a top priority for Dutch financial institutions, with non-compliance carrying significant consequences. Our team is providing guidance to help banks comply with regulations and avoid costly mistakes.

Transforming Risk Functions


Ultimately, the key to success lies in transforming risk functions to be more flexible, sustainable, and cost-efficient. KPMG’s expertise can help C-level executives at Dutch banks achieve this goal, ensuring a strong foundation for long-term growth and stability.
