Overview 6

Business Issues 7

FSIs need to formalize and adopt a process-driven approach to information management and regulatory compliance practices 7

Remember that regulatory reporting and compliance are ultimately about governance, and hence, the overall compliance framework / approach should reflect the complexity of governance structures, processes and regimes that a FSI operates in. 8

FSIs need to use a scenario-based approach to defining compliance business requirements 9

Technology Issues 10

FSIs should begin assessment and adoption of XBRL compliant reporting systems, data and documents incrementally in preparation for “reporting streamlining” initiatives by national regulators and government agencies. 10

Do not underestimate the complexity and efforts required to pull disparate technologies together to achieve a coherent and efficient compliance infrastructure. 10

FSIs need to consolidate disparate reporting applications in order to gain efficiencies and economies of scale. 11

Making the investment 12

With the market for analytics, reporting tools and packaged reporting applications continuing to converge, FSIs need to take into account internal areas of emphasis, the user issues the institution wants to address, and the specific strengths / weaknesses of vendor solutions. 12

Internal FSI stakeholders and vendors playing in this space need to actively find means of justifying compliance beyond mere adherence to rules, and demonstrate additional sources of value. 12
