Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications and PwC announced today a global collaboration to offer premium technology, implementation and consulting solutions to help financial institutions meet near-term and ongoing compliance with the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB) new IFRS9 and FASB’s proposed CECL reporting standards.
The collaboration will pair Oracle’s software and analytical solutions, which provide pre-built rules, methods and reports, with PwC’s compliance consulting and implementation expertise.
