Background to the task
FSA has unified 9 legacy regulators:

Lots of duplication in regulatory data.

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

Major industry infrastructure programmes
The need:
– Honesty
– Transparency
– Trust
– Delivery
– Outcomes
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
Clash of interests
• Excitement of new ideas
• Investment by software providers
• Reporting firms
• Change management
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
Wider changes
•
•
•
•
•
•
Basel 2
Financial Services Action Plan
IFRS
MiFiD (ISD2)
CESR/CIOPS/CEBS
Convergence of national statistics, tax,
accounting and reporting data standards
Conclusions
• Be careful
• Be very careful this is an industry infrastructure
programme
• Don’t get carried away but be ambitious
