Benefits of our Investment Firm Regulatory Reporting solution

The European Banking Association (EBA) and the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have defined a new prudential regime. This is set through the Investment Firm Directive (IFD) and Investment Firm Regulation (IFR) - also known as the Investment Firm Prudential Regime (IFPR) framework in the UK. If you’re an investment firm, the compliance deadline for these new rules and reporting requirements is June 26th 2021 (EU) and January 1st 2022 (UK).

To help MiFiD investment firms meet these requirements OneSumX Regulatory Reporting for Investment Firms offers you a fully automated regulatory reporting solution. It’s based on a structured logical data model that leverages K-factor calculators with reporting capabilities across capital and liquidity requirements. Find out how your teams could save time and improve your systems and processes to adhere to this new prudential regime.

OneSumX Regulatory Reporting for Investment Firms solution features

Having multiple legacy products, with inflexible technology support, separated into silos can be a challenge. It means sub-optimal performance, a high total cost of ownership and inefficient maintenance.

OneSumX Regulatory Reporting for Investment Firms is a flexible solution to overcome those challenges and help meet the demands of the new prudential regime.

  • K-factor calculators

    Fast-track data harvesting through our structured data model and integrated K-factor calculators with reporting capabilities.

    Our solution determines if a firm’s available own capital is eligible to be used for prudential purposes by comparing the capital’s attributes to the requirements specified in Articles 9 and 10 of IFR.

    The solution can assess how much capital the firm needs. It implements:

    Risk-to-Client
    • K-AUM (Assets Under Management)
    • K-CMH (Client Money Held)
    • K-ASA (Assets Safeguarded and Administered)
    • K-COH (Client Orders Handled)
    Risk-to-Market
    • K-NPR (Net Position Risk)
    Risk-to-Firm
    • K-TCD (Trading Counterparty Default)
    • K-DTF (Daily Trading Flow)
    • K-CON (Concentration Risk)
    Our solution can also derive your initial capital and permanent capital requirements based on your MiFID permissions.

  • Eligible liquidity assessments

    Determine if the properties of the assets in your “Liquid Asset Buffer” are eligible in accordance with Articles 43-45 of IFR, and from there, assess if you meet the minimum requirements defined in Article 43(1).

  • Regulatory Update Service (RUS)

    If the regulator refines or updates any of the calculations, classifications, reporting templates, validation rules or XBRL taxonomy, our solution will be updated in line with the regulatory deadlines at no extra cost. If a regulatory change requires a new data attribute, Wolters Kluwer OneSumX FRR will notify clients well in advance so they can plan for the changes.

  • Powerful analytics

    Regulatory reporters can attest to the accuracy of the returns and explain movements because of our templates and powerful analytical tools such as trend, variance, drill down, drill up and drill through features. Users are also able to apply manual adjustments that are fully auditable and subject to the four-eyes principles for approval.
