Regulatory reporting. From requirement to sign-off.
What we do
We support existing business and project teams in four core areas of regulatory reporting, with clearly defined tasks and tangible results.
Migration and data delivery
We support changes to the data model, the delivery pipeline and the operating model, from functional mapping to the go-live transition.
- Data model changes: field mapping from old to new for release or system changes, completeness checks on the data delivery, evidence of coverage for each report.
- Data deliveries: adapting and reconciling feeds from the general ledger, risk systems and other source systems.
- Platform and cloud migration: preparation, testing and acceptance, including adjustments to operating and control processes.
- Documentation: Mapping, mapping, processing and functional dependencies recorded so that auditors and successors can retrace them.
Test management, parallel runs and acceptance
We structure testing so that scope, comparison levels, variances and acceptance criteria can be managed transparently.
- Test strategy and acceptance criteria: test scope, test phases and the criteria for business sign-off, agreed between business, IT and the vendor.
- Test cases: derived from business requirements, the data model, processing logic and the applicable functional and technical validation rules.
- Release testing: regression tests for DPM and software releases, including checks on changed reporting templates, validation rules, reporting obligations and thresholds.
- Old-versus-new comparison and variances: comparison at agreed levels, from data field to reporting position; variances classified, prioritised and assessed by the business, with documented root cause analysis for material differences and documented business sign-off.
Functional implementation of reporting requirements
We analyse new or amended requirements and support their implementation in data, parameterisation, controls and reports.
- Liquidity reporting: LCR, NSFR and ALMM, from concept through implementation to reconciliation.
- COREP, FINREP and asset encumbrance: selected topics covering own funds, leverage ratio, financial information and asset encumbrance.
- Credit reporting: large exposure and million loan reporting (Großkredit, Millionenkredit), including the formation of groups of connected clients and borrower units.
- Further reporting areas: AnaCredit, balance sheet and interest rate statistics, and IRRBB reporting at the interface to risk management; we assess new requirements and their implications for data sources, processes and controls.
Data quality, reconciliation and parameterisation
Reporting errors often originate before the reporting system. We trace variances back to the data source, mapping, processing rule or parameterisation.
- Reconciliation: aligning reported figures with accounting and risk systems, taking different scopes of consolidation and valuation logics into account.
- Validation errors: analysing validation errors and functional differences down to the root cause.
- Parameterisation and analyses: business rules, enrichments and control and analysis views in the reporting system, documented, maintainable and manageable by the business itself.
- IReF stocktake: data availability, granularity and transformation logic as the basis for deciding on a later implementation programme.
Current topics
Where regulatory reporting is on the move, and what that means for institutions. As at: August 2026.
Vendor consolidation (since late 2025)
Regnology has acquired several product lines, including OneSumX from Wolters Kluwer as well as regulatory reporting and ALM solutions from Moody’s, and is communicating a long-term convergence towards its Ascend platform. No public migration deadlines or end-of-support dates for OneSumX have been announced so far. For users, the immediate task is therefore to assess roadmaps, dependencies, transition scenarios and options.
Cloud operations and platform migration (ongoing)
More and more institutions run their reporting system in the vendor’s cloud or are about to take that step. In the Regnology environment, examples include Rcloud as the operating platform and the Regnology Reporting Hub as the new product generation, with comparable operating models at other vendors. The move changes data delivery, release cycles, interfaces and control processes. Responsibility for data, reports, controls and sign-off remains with the institution. We support preparation, migration, parallel runs, variance management and evidence documentation.
IReF and BIRD (consultation from 2027, first reporting 2031)
IReF is intended to consolidate the Eurosystem’s statistical reporting requirements into an integrated framework and harmonise them on a more granular data basis; under the ECB’s current plan, the consultation starting in 2027 is followed by a pilot phase from 2030, with the first official reporting scheduled for 2031. BIRD is a voluntary reference framework that can help institutions structure input data and transformations. For institutions, the priority today is a solid stocktake: affected reports, available data, definitions, granularity and gaps. A full implementation programme is not the right step for every institution at this point.
CRR III and DPM releases (ongoing)
CRR III brings changes to credit risk, internal models and the output floor as well as to market risk, among other areas. These changes also affect reporting templates, data requirements and testing. DPM and software releases regularly create a need for adjustment. We plan the required regression tests and run them together with the business.
AI in regulatory reporting (bounded work steps)
Today, AI is best suited to clearly bounded and verifiable work steps: structuring regulatory requirements, preparing test cases and pre-analysing large error and variance lists. Assessment, decisions and sign-off remain with the responsible business owners and are documented within the existing control process. More on our AI page.
Why Syngeon
Business and system implementation
Our team combines experience from institutions, vendor projects and implementation work. That is why we know the interfaces between business requirements, data delivery, reporting software, testing and acceptance.
System experience without system lock-in
Experience with the established reporting systems, including Abacus360 and BAIS, in data delivery, parameterisation, testing and migration. Our approach is not tied to any single product; the focus is on data, processes and testing along the reporting chain.
Clearly defined work packages
Support for existing teams with a defined scope, concrete deliverables and transparent acceptance criteria, with short lead times and close integration into existing business and IT structures.
Germany and Luxembourg
Our team works in Germany and Luxembourg and delivers projects in German and English.
Let us assess your starting position
In a first conversation, we clarify your system landscape, the reports affected, your target date and the current bottleneck. On that basis, we can say specifically whether, and with which work package, we can add value.
