Department Overview

Regulatory Reporting is a key component of the Finance Department, which has an excellent reputation within the bank and externally. We pride ourselves on our professionalism within a Department with a culture that encourages dynamism and flexibility.

Senior management takes a hands-on approach within the department, and is keen to reward hard work, enthusiasm and success. A willingness to constantly question established processes, and strive for improvements is actively encouraged, leading to an ever changing and exciting environment. Nomura presents a unique opportunity to learn and gain experience of a broad range of products and business lines within a supportive setting and surrounded by skilled professionals.

The Reporting team is based onshore and offshore, the majority of daily reporting and a significant proportion of monthly/ quarterly reporting is performed by the Regulatory Reporting team based in Mumbai. The validation, review and submission of regulatory returns is managed onshore by the London team (team of three) with significant contribution from Mumbai.

Regulatory Reporting is currently going through a period of significant change (e.g. implementation of CRRII). To help cope with these challenges there has been significant investment in the Regulatory Reporting Infrastructure with a global strategic project to deliver front to back enhancements nearing completion.

• Support interpretation, guidance and challenge on PRA, EBA and JFSA Liquidity regulations in partnership with the EMEA Regulatory Policy group
