As the industry navigates its way through a new world order of regulation and oversight prompted by the financial crisis, we are seeing financial institutions looking to take their businesses successfully forward into the future. In this edition, we pick up on the two broad themes of changing regulation and risks and opportunities of the future; the emerging topic of living wills; and, the growing focus on risk management in tax emphasizing the need to build a high performing tax function.

Additional highlights include:
  • recovery in M&A activity in some of the larger Western markets, as well as the continuing focus in the Asia Pacific region
  • practical implications of the new UCITS IV directive on tax reporting and on fund structures
  • how to reshape insurance for efficiency gains
  • transfer pricing challenges posed by profit splitting and partnership structures
  • an end to treaty shopping in Asia
