Project Overview
The Client was not fully satisfying regulatory reporting requirements, including key liquidity reports such as the FR2052a. The Client lacked a cohesive strategy for acquiring reporting data elements, which were largely unidentified, unavailable, or scattered across disparate source systems. The Client requested help from Reference Point in supporting enterprise data acquisition efforts, with the goal of identifying data needs and addressing data sourcing gaps across the organization. The Reference Point team, led by liquidity and data experts, met this ask by conducting current state assessments with each line of business and synthesizing information for a full picture of the firm’s reporting data acquisition and data management practices. These efforts identified opportunities for data gap remediation and long-term strategic data sourcing improvements.
Solution
- Reference Point deployed a team of former industry practitioners, including liquidity reporting and data management Subject Matter Experts, paired with data analysts and technical consultants with regulatory reporting experience, to assess data acquisition needs and remediate gaps.
- The team conducted stakeholder interviews and multiple data gap analyses relating to enterprise risk requirements to capture the Client’s current state. The outputs included detailed observations by lines of business, as well as a clear heatmap of data gaps across the enterprise for areas such as liquidity data, collateral data, and markets data.
- RP provided recommendations for data acquisition improvements, including target state data flows and a target state data governance model designed to enhance coordination between data producers and consumers.
Impact
- Reference Point’s industry experts provided deep insight into the data elements required for regulatory reports and best practices for data acquisition and data governance across a complex data ecosystem.
- Through Reference Point’s assessment, the Client was able to better understand its current state ability to address upcoming regulatory requirements, as well as manage its key data elements beyond near-term remediation of existing reporting.
- RP also provided the client with tactical and strategic improvement plans, including opportunities to address data gaps, improve data management and data governance practices across the institution, and proactively remediate data issues for future regulatory requirements.
