At BDO, we are committed to making use of the latest technological advancements to deliver superior results, exemplified by our CRS team operating the Risk Suite platform -an integrated, end-to-end risk, pricing and valuation solution. This platform is in use within the SA environment and empowers our team to efficiently assess counterparty credit risk, measure financial instruments and perform fair valuations and expected credit loss (ECL) calculations. The Risk Suite platform can effortlessly handle vast portfolios of data, significantly reducing the time spent on complex valuation estimates.

Industry-aligned methodologies: meeting accounting and regulatory standards
