The new leadership faces challenges due to a lack of experience, complicating efforts to stabilize the region.
Jürg Kaufmann, head of UBS Bern, has resigned amid significant upheaval following the integration of Credit Suisse. His departure comes as key personnel, including the head of wealthy private clients, are also being replaced, leading to a talent exodus to competitors like Vontobel and Berner Kantonalbank. Chief executive Sabine Keller-Busse, facing pressure from Sergio Ermotti, has taken decisive action to address the turmoil.
UBS's auditors issued an "adverse opinion" on the bank's internal controls over financial reporting for 2024, citing unresolved issues from its acquisition of Credit Suisse. This rare reprimand signals potential misrepresentation in UBS's financial statements, highlighting the challenges of integrating the two banks. Despite implementing a remediation program, UBS acknowledged ongoing material weaknesses related to risk assessment and internal controls.
