Mizuho Financial Group has selected FIS’s Balance Sheet Manager solution to help it navigate evolving regulatory reporting requirements in Japan.
FIS Balance Sheet Manager provides modelling, scenario and simulation capabilities to implement Asset Liability Management (ALM) processes.
Mizuho will employ the solution to support compliance with revised domestic accounting standards in Japan, including the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9).

"FIS Balance Sheet Manager stood out for its ability to handle complex accounting needs with precision.
“New efficiencies through data integration and reporting will also help us optimise our risk profile and enhance our competitiveness.”
Andrés Choussy, president, capital Markets at FIS, adds: “Financial institutions in Japan and across the globe face complex challenges especially during times of financial volatility. FIS’s technology takes away the burden of regulatory reporting from our clients and enables them to concentrate on their business goals.
“Our solutions help forward-looking institutions like Mizuho confidently put money to work while maintaining the compliance and clarity needed to grow.”
