a) Financial Services
In order to avail top quality of accounting services, from specialists outside the business, at economical costs, outsourcing is adopted. There is a need for expert management and deployment of funds which may not be available within the organisation. Therefore the financial services are rendered by experts in the field of finance such as MBAs, CAs, and other finance professionals through their own specialised set-ups.
In the background of globalisation and liberalisation, the outsourcing of financial services has got tremendous significance.
For ex. : Oracle, GE Capital, Convergies offer financial services internationally.
