Global Rankings
Tholons have recognized Sri Lanka as a Global
Centre of Excellence for Financial Accounting
Outsourcing (FAO). These analyst reports
provide independent validation of Sri Lanka’s
blended value proposition, including cost
competitiveness, skilled labour, and quality
infrastructure.
Ease of travel and communication
The two and a half hour (Perth), to four and a half
(Melbourne/Sydney) time difference means Sri
Lankan service operators on an “extended day”.
Our team pick up their client’s data just before
mid-day AEST and deliver late in the day, in
time for the following morning. There are direct
flights to Colombo, Sri Lanka with a simple Visa
process on arrival, making business travel fast and
convenient.
Government Support
The Sri Lankan government fully supports the
nation’s outsourcing efforts. To make Sri Lanka
a world-recognized offshoring centre by 2020,
the government has pledged US$70 million
to invest in digital infrastructure to further
advance the outsourcing economy. According
to the Information Communication Technology
Agency (ICTA), the tax and investment benefts
for foreign businesses and the safe, legal
environment have given fnancial giants such
as HSBC, CAMMS, and IFS the confdence to
establish service centres in Sri Lanka.
Connectivity and Information Security
Connectivity and Information Security Confdence
in connectivity and data security are vital
components in offshoring. Sri Lanka’s
state of-the-art infrastructure and IP security
places it in Asia’s top ten in the Network Readiness
Index (NRI). With fve sub-sea cables, improved
transport infrastructure, and the frst country to
attempt island-wide internet through Google
Loon, Sri Lanka is at the forefront of countries
offering business processes as a service. Sri
Lankan vendors have a track record of success
remotely managing fnancial operations through
cutting-edge IT systems, effcient practices, and a
highly-qualifed workforce.
Knowledge and Expertise
Driven by an education-focused culture, Sri
Lanka has an unusually high ratio of graduates
in accounting and fnance disciplines, only
second to the UK in terms of qualifed Charted
Accountants. Service providers are generally
certifed in software packages such as Xero,
QuickBooks, MYOB, and SAGE, allowing for a
smooth back-end integration with accounting
platforms and fnancial systems. The country also
boasts high levels of literacy, English language
profciency (thanks to its history as a British
colony) and Australian-qualifed graduates.
Cost Competitiveness
Sri Lanka offers remarkably low costs to value:
10% lower than India in IT and 20% lower in
BPO, according to A.T. Kearney. Wage inflation
and staff turnover is also smaller in comparison.
Quality infrastructure is cheaper in Sri Lanka. As
a result, several BPO companies are housed in
buildings such as the World Trade Centre, while
dedicated IT/BPO industry parks have sample
capacity.
