The financial services industry is constantly evolving due to technological developments, regulatory changes, sustainable financing and the increasing emphasis on cybersecurity and data privacy.

Importance of data and cybersecurity

The importance of data and cybersecurity is growing in the financial sector. Financial institutions have access to enormous amounts of data, which they can use to offer new services. Compliance with rules and regulations remains a challenge. Organizations must make informed decisions and priorities to mitigate risks, address vulnerabilities and take appropriate action.

Sustainability

Sustainability is also becoming increasingly important in the financial sector. Financial institutions are encouraged to embrace ESG and sustainable finance as they play a major role in green investments. As a result, banks, insurers and pension funds have to make important decisions that go beyond just environmental aspects. With a dedicated sustainability team and specialists focused on the financial sector, BDO wants to be an example in the field of sustainability.
