Last week, over 30 organizations including regulators, global financial institutions, trade associations and vendors met under the auspices of JWG’s Regulatory reporting special interest group (RRDS). In this 27th meeting on regulatory reporting the group examined the feasibility of integrating prudential/statistical ‘top down’ or more aggregated reporting (e.g., CRR 430C, ESG) and ‘bottom up’ or more transactional data collection (e.g., EMIR, MiFID, CSDR). So far
JWG summarized regulatory 2021 reporting efforts and explained how there are both prudential/statistical ‘top down’ or more aggregated reporting (e.g., Risk, ESG) with the ‘bottom up’ more transactional data collection (e.g., EMIR, MiFID, CSDR). The RRDS agenda will seek to share lessons learnt across both types of regulatory reporting innovations this year. Though concepts have been proven and studies generally align, without a more concrete description of the future risk information system which extends today’s notion of ‘data’ to include ‘language’ regulatory data efforts will continue to cost tens of billions while failing to achieve their policy objectives.
