Sri Lanka targets to build and attract customers in the IT and BPO industries with a focus on key competitive niches. Finance and Accounting Outsourcing will be one of the key growth areas, as Sri Lanka has a large pool of UK qualified accounting professionals (second only to the UK). A survey in Global Services magazine ranked Sri Lanka among the top 20 centers of excellence for FAO in the world. Leading global companies such as WNS, Amba Research, RR Donnelly and HSBC have set up FAO centers in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo, was ranked fifth among 15 emerging global cities and recognized as a 'Center of Excellence' for Financial and Accounting Outsourcing by Tholons, a US based boutique outsourcing consultancy and investment firm.
