Building
Societies addressing pressing regulatory reporting requirements will already be
preparing for Basel II,but
how will this be reflected in changes to FSA reporting itself? The new
capital reporting regime will, like other FSA reporting, become part of the FSA’s
Integrated Regulatory Reporting process under Mandatory Electronic Reporting.
Building Societies can expect to complete tables “C”, “D” etc, containing capital
reporting details as set out in the draft materials in FSA DP05/01. Additionally,
the new FSA reporting will contain changes to the supervisory balance sheet, income
statement, arrears information, liquidity reporting, interest rate gap, large
exposures (which will variously replace existing sections in MFS1
etc) and other information.
We also expect the statistical elements of
the outgoing Building Society Commission returns to be replaced by the
current Bank of England reporting format. Whilst the detailed timing
for this has yet to be determined, it is likely to be end 2006 or early 2007
STB have been automating supervisory
and statistical reporting since 1993. STB has achieved its position as the leading
vendor in this market through a combination of top quality products and services,
and a unique maintenance guarantee: STB is ideally suited to helping Building
Societies with these new regulatory reporting requirements.
STB-Reporter already provides automation for IRR Phase 1, including computation
and reporting of (MLAR) Mortgage Lending and Administration Return and
(RMAR) Retail Mediation Activities Return. STB-Reporter is also available
for collection, normalisation, validation and submission of (PSD) Product Sales
Data via XML for firms requiring TRS certification and system
to system submission. Please contact STB for more information, or to request a
demonstration of our reporting systems.

STB-Reporter massively
reduces time spent compiling regulatory reports
and eliminates errors associated with unwieldy
paper or spreadsheet based audit trails. By automatically consolidating all data
and applying the regulatory rules, STB removes the dependency on IT bottlenecks
or on sub system modules which may only produce piecemeal outputs.
In just a few clicks a Building Society can compute all values for Bank
of England reporting including analysis of deposits, loans, balance sheet and
sectoral analyses, country and currency exposures, inward and outward investments,
transactions with non-residents, effective interest rates, derivatives and securities
transactions, profit and loss reporting and more. For the FSA, in the same way
and from the same dataset, you are only clicks away from capital adequacy, liquidity,
large exposures and more. All forms are presented visually on screen as you would
expect, and include screen representation of the IRR. All information is fully
auditable with industry-leading double click drill downs, validations and electronic
output to both the Bank of England’s current BEERS standard and to cover the requirements
of the FSA’s Integrated Regulatory reporting and PSD as well.
STB-Reporter
also provides the ideal reporting environment for management Systems ands Controls
purposes and may be deployed for liquidity stress testing and other management
information purposes.
STB's forms-handling technology is unmatched elsewhere
in the industry: it makes no difference what your specific regulator’s form
looks like nor what the language or character set is used. Also, STB handles double-byte
data and in fact all manner of data as a natural part of our abstracted datasets.
Return and cross-return validation is performed for you, allowing you to adjust
any mistakes.
