Weathering the storm of ESG complexity by leveraging AI

whitePaper | October 6, 2021

ESG investing has grown exponentially in the last decade and is estimated to be somewhere between 35.31 to 40.52 trillion USD (according to the GSIA, 2021, and OPIMAS, 2020). The ESG investment industry is constantly in transition, with rapid developments across ESG strategies, approaches, and technologies reshaping the industry towards best standards of practice. This transition is leading to variations in the scale and growth of sustainable investment in different regions, according to GSIA. Many regions continue to see strong growth in sustainable investment assets under management – most notably Canada, the United States and Japan. Other regions are slowing down their rate of growth or have seen a reported reversal – in particular Europe and Australasia. In both cases, this is largely due to changes in how sustainable investment is defined, either by law as in the case of the EU, or by new industry standards as is the case in Australasia.

Enabling offline payments in an online world

whitePaper | September 15, 2022

There have been numerous examples of how payments digitalization has transformed society in recent years, whether it be the surge in mobile money usage in sub-Saharan Africa, the stunning success of real-time payments in markets such as Brazil, India, and Thailand, or the increased adoption of contactless payment methods following the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the World Bank, roughly two-thirds of the population now make and receive digital payments, with the share of adults in developing economies increasing from 35 percent in 2014 to 57 percent in 2021. This shift has not only led to reduced cash usage and the availability of more convenient payment options but also to much needed improvements in financial inclusion and digital access for underserved populations.

Bank Accounting Advisory Series

whitePaper | August 1, 2022

The Office of the Chief Accountant (OCA) is pleased to present the August 2022 edition of the Bank Accounting Advisory Series (BAAS). The BAAS expresses the OCA’s interpretations of accounting topics relevant to national banks and federal savings associations (collectively, banks or institutions, unless otherwise specified). We hope that you find this publication useful and that it continues to be a practical resource for bankers and examiners. The BAAS is updated annually to address ongoing accounting questions, newly issued and updated accounting standards, and emerging issues observed through March 31. Consistent with prior editions of the BAAS, the 2022 update does not focus on questions related to the impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and does not reflect policy statements and rules issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 policy statements and rules address specific challenges and are not intended to be used by analogy in non-COVID-19 situations.
