KPMG launches Insights into Canadian Banking on new digital publication iPad app
TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2015 /CNW/ - Digital transformation is impacting the banking industry at an accelerated pace, and cutting edge banks are breaking through traditional barriers by embracing technology and big data capabilities. To keep up with the changing landscape, Canadian banks need to update their organizational strategies to create an environment of technology enablement, throughout front and back office. Without action, profitability – and the bottom line – are at risk.
KPMG's Insights into Canadian Banking explores banking technology enablement through key industry themes that are rising on the corporate agenda, including:
- Customer journey analytics – Banks must track and analyze customer situations and possible pain points in order to help improve overall customer satisfaction, increasing customer loyalty and ultimately profitability.
- Anti-money laundering – Anti-money laundering and counterterrorist financing compliance are on the c-suite radar more than ever before, as banking leaders face a range of regulatory mandates and compliance requirements that are difficult to meet under continually evolving rules.
- New IFRS 9 standard brings new rules – With the new impairment model under IFRS 9 looming on the horizon, Canadian financial institutions must understand critical milestones for implementation, and the new rules that will come with it.
- Tax transformation – As the banking industry transforms, the tax function within banks does too. Enhanced transparency and improved automation will help minimize tax risk through reduced manual errors and improved employee satisfaction.
Canada's financial institutions are no strangers to significant regulatory burdens, rising customer expectations, mounting stakeholder pressure and the mandate to keep doing more with less. Now is the time for banks to lay the groundwork and set the stage for their technology evolution. Mark Smith, KPMG in Canada's Financial Services Leader, is available to speak about the digital transformation of banking, and KPMG spokespeople are available to provide further insight across all of these topics.
