  2. What I will cover today • Background • Our programme • Timelines • Lessons learnt so far

  3. Background to the task FSA has unified 9 legacy regulators: • 9 legacy reporting categories. • 43 different reporting forms. • 50 firm types. Lots of duplication in regulatory data.

  4. Need to better equip us tomeet statutory objectives Adoption of risk based approach to regulation Drivers of change in reporting requirement IRR Greater focus on reporting by what a firm does Increase in number of firms we regulate Changes from EU Directives etc.,

  5. Regulatory reporting – a new integrated approach 1 2 3 4 Reporting aligned to a firm’s year- end with standardised reporting frequencies & submission time limits Firms to check annually that their Standing Data is correct Mandatory electronic Reporting (MER) Revised complaints data

  6. Strategic IRR Programme • Mandatory Electronic Reporting for all regulated firms • Web forms AND system-to-system submission using XBRL • Published taxonomy defining concepts and terms for regulatory reporting • ‘De-duplication’ – firms submitting returns for more than one activity are only asked for each data set once (eg, balance sheet, currently appears in most returns) • Plans for testing, pilots and training facilities

  10. Major industry infrastructure programmes The need: • Honesty • Transparency • Trust • Delivery • Outcomes

  11. Lessons I have already learnt There are three key things different about this programme • Manage the clash of interests • Setting data standards • See the wider emerging pan European and global financial services agenda

  12. Clash of interests • Excitement of new ideas • Investment by software providers • Reporting firms • Change management

  13. The importance of standards • Regulators are standard setting bodies • Too little appreciation of data • Co-operating on industry taxonomies • Providing the basis for agreement • Expanding the consensus

  14. Wider changes • Basel 2 • Financial Services Action Plan • IFRS • MiFiD (ISD2) • CESR/CIOPS/CEBS • Convergence of national statistics, tax, accounting and reporting data standards

  15. Conclusions • Be careful • Be very careful this is an industry infrastructure programme • Don’t get carried away but be ambitious • Further information • www.fsa.gov.uk/regulatory_reporting • returns@fsa.gov.uk
