Regulatory Compliance
Managing collateralised trading. Enabling regulatory compliance.
Automated regulatory compliance solution The relentless demand for regulatory compliance is a global challenge for financial institutions. Basel III, COREP/FINREP, Dodd-Frank, EMIR, MiFID2 and many other regulations implementing new minimum standards are reshaping the landscape and redefining best practices. Firms are demanding a strategic reporting solution which not only delivers essential minimum regulatory reporting, but also supports fully reconcilable internal management reporting from a single unified source of information. Lombard Risk delivers this as an embedded process, eliminating manual intervention, calculating and delivering all regulatory submissions while creating a single repository of reliable data for flexible reporting.

Leave the regulatory reporting burden to us… and the data challenge too
A proven solution: reviewed by regulators; approved by our clients' internal and external auditors; trusted by hundreds of users internationally.
Firms try to solve the regulatory reporting requirement by using reports from various banking systems, or by surviving on spreadsheet jungles. But banking systems are not reporting systems: they are designed for processing transactions and producing accounting entries. Spreadsheets can never be properly controlled. Furthermore, this unsatisfactory situation is further complicated by multiple data sources, on different platforms, from various vendors or from legacy inhouse systems, and by the pressure of constant regulatory change. This approach is high risk, cumbersome and costly to maintain.
Automatic generation of regulatory reports, according to local, regional and/or global regulators’ requirements, including form-based and transaction reporting Extensive computation engines deliver capital, liquidity, and large exposures calculations direct from raw data Instant-click drill down/up capabilities saves time and enables users to drill down from any line within a regulatory report to a comprehensive audit trail to show each individual deal and/or balance alongside detailed related information held in the data repository Reconciliation processes at data load and report computation levels save approval time and help to ensure accurate submissions Security-controlled adjustment facilities at all data levels, all fully audited Validation and cross-validation tests ensure report quality, and user-defined own validations enable firms to carry out internal checks prior to submission Automated electronic report submission (e.g. XML, XBRL, IESUB and other local regulators' standards) Reduction of report preparation time enables users to quickly generate reports in advance of the mandated due dates allowing for proper analysis before submission Powerful variance and trend analysis tools enable differences and emerging developments to be tracked, audited, reported and made part of the sign-off and approval process Efficient interfacing ensures that valuable detailed and verified data may also be used to meet other types of reporting such as management information and stress testing
It is not only the increasing complexity, volume and frequency of regulatory agencies’ reporting requirements which is adding to the industry reporting burden. New and more detailed reporting mandates requires more granular data, exposing data sources to a new level of scrutiny which may have never been tested in detail before. The data challenge is now a crucial part of the problem, and has made more of an issue with not only multiple and varied sources of data, but with increased reliance on lower levels of higher quality data. The result is a more complex and time-consuming process to prepare accurate reports. This creates a pressing need for a strategic solution for regulatory and risk reporting. Now, Financial Institutions are having to spend even more time compiling reports and do not have sufficient time to analyse them for accuracy or meaning - and this all at a time where greater scrutiny of reporting, and of senior management involvement, is arising from regulators, - adding to the risk of substantial penalties for avoidable inaccuracies or late submission in addition to reputational risk. Furthermore, as firms grow, merge and change shape - including across boarders - a robust integrated strategic solution with minimal manual intervention and maximised straight through processing is now becoming the only acceptable standard: firms need a solution where a single reconciled source of information for regulatory and management reporting is available as an embedded part of the production process.
