BUSINESS ANALYSIS
Specialists in bridging the gap between stakeholders and technology, across the financial landscape.
The financial market is home to our business analyst communities, who act as bridges between senior stakeholders and IT. For BA’s/PM’s, interpersonal skills are of vital importance. They need to be able to communicate clearly, present and converse with senior leadership - all whilst building relationships with a wide range of personality types and managing project expectations.
These senior professionals have a broad knowledge range, but those with niche specialisms are in higher demand, e.g. in the front office (asset class-specific), risk management and regulatory initiatives/reporting.
In this space, project requirements can be highly variable and market conditions can change very quickly. Individuals need to be adaptable, analytical, resourceful and able to cope with minimal disruptions to the business.
Our clients have found that Caspian One understands their organisations at all levels intimately and are always striving to connect them with people that understand their pain-points, expected outcomes, and organizational culture.
Regulatory Reporting
Regulations and reporting are now ever-present in the financial markets, with heavy fines and penalties imposed to the world’s largest financial institutions if strict deadlines are not met. In 2020, Regulatory Reporting obligations created a plethora of challenges across different organisations within the financial service industry. These challenges are set to continue throughout 2021 and beyond, as the sector continues to deal with unprecedented levels of complex regulatory change and ongoing, large-scale external stress events. Libor and Brexit are just a snapshot of some major initiatives and coupled with the impact of COVID a number of these deadlines have already been pushed back to 2022 and 2023.
