Steve Husk, ceo at FRSGlobal, commented: “The deluge of regulatory issues and plans to cement banking reform over the last couple of years have forced the entire industry to assess and plan for what is to come – but now we are at a stage when firms need to put theory into practice. This new office opening and these new hires denote the growth we are experiencing as the industry increasingly recognises the need to have robust risk management and regulatory reporting systems in place. The strength of our technology and value of the content we provide our clients put us in prime position to meet these demands.”
FRSGlobal’s new office is located at 5/F Standard Chartered Tower, 201 Shiji Avenue, Pudong, Shanghai 200120, Shanghai, China.
