Financial services industry publications

Mazars recognises digitisation as an important topic for the financial services industry; for this reason, we have developed a content programme with the Economist Intelligence Unit that focuses on how banks, insurance and real estate businesses are adapting their risk and reporting procedures to the new digital environment.

We are pleased to share with you the latest issue of Mazars’ banking newsletter, Bank News, which brings regular updates and insights into the banking sector.
