Aiming to support national financial institutions and within the context of its European Network, PwC established, in January 2015, the Financial Services Risk & Regulation (FSRR) Department, fully focused on risk and regulation areas. This includes a wide range of topics such as strategic risk management, governance and internal organization, management frameworks and advanced risk quantification models (credit, interest rate, liquidity, ESG, etc.), business innovation and transformation, and the design of banking recovery and resolution plans. To achieve this, PwC brought together a unique combination of professionals with extensive experience in banking, capital markets, supervision, and environmental engineering, as well as in the implementation and/or assessment of advanced risk management solutions, benefiting from access to international best practices.

Promoting the continuous specialization of its resources, the department is currently organized into four thematic areas, with coordination and cross-functional collaboration ensured:
