Support in development and implementation of IFRS 17 Solution

SAS has developed a solution called SAS IFRS 17, an integrated environment for managing, auditing and tracing all the steps of IFRS 17 compliance processes. Thanks to our partnership with Finalyse, and the high technical knowledge demonstrated by the Finalyse consultants, we have been able to develop the tool further, working on use case testing and documentation, and have already started implementing the solution on-site. Thanks to their support, the solution covers fully all phases of implementation, allows the orchestration of processes and advanced data management.

Private Equity Valuation

It is our pleasure to provide you with this reference for Finalyse as an external valuation provider for Private Equity and Private debt.
We strongly recommend Finalyse for these services, as we have been using them for 1 year, during which Finalyse provided the valuation of our portfolio on a semi-annual basis with great professionalism. Their competence, their capacity to meet sometimes tight deadlines and their friendly attitude have led us to rely on them also for one-shot valuations in specific cases. Finalyse provides us with detailed documentation for each case and follows up whenever we (or any other stakeholder such as an auditor or regulator) have a question.
We appreciate their competence and reliability first and foremost, as their service has never failed us so far.

Director

A fruitful collaboration to help Ethias deliver on ALM goals

Ethias has had a fruitful collaboration with Finalyse on a range of ALM issues over the years.
Finalyse consultants came up with practical solutions to produce integrated risk measures across the balance sheet, allowing for new simulation capacities, shorter timelines in the production of ALCO material, and altogether a greater ability to deliver on the objectives of the ALM function. In particular, the collaboration with Finalyse was instrumental in setting up an interest rate hedging strategy that protects Ethias’s solvency capital ratio.

We stand with Ukraine

As a European service provider, Finalyse has always embraced cooperation between cultures in Europe. Recognition of diversity and multicultural teamwork lies in our core business values. As everyone now, we are deeply shocked by the military aggression of Ukraine by Russia and by the humanitarian crisis taking place in the region.

We are glad to see the European Union standing united and resolved to help people dislocated by this dreadful conflict and provide aid to Ukraine in an hour of its need.

As a company, we have consistently decided not to deliver any service in any way to any Russian or affiliated financial institution until peace is fully restored in the region.

Finalyse is also looking for the best ways to support people suffering from this tragedy. As a first step, we have wired a donation to 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗣𝗔𝗛) to contribute meaningfully to the rapidly developing situation on the Polish-Ukrainian border, which requires the rapid and continued deployment of humanitarian aid.

Together with our colleagues in Central Europe, we continue to assess the best ways to support the people in need.
