“IFRS 9 implementation poses a significant challenge for financial institutions and failure to manage it well can have a material impact on their bottom line,” Oracle’s financial services senior vice president Sonny Singh said.
“By partnering with PwC, we can provide our clients a comprehensive technological solution, as well as deep strategic insight, that’s unmatched in the marketplace.”
