Why this course

The MAS announced tighter reporting deadlines for multi-country banks this week, forcing regional heads to scramble for additional data pulls and manual reconciliations. Your team is juggling fragmented Excel files, legacy data pipelines, and ad-hoc spreadsheets while senior executives demand real-time compliance evidence. Missed deadlines now risk regulatory fines and a reputation hit that could trigger leadership reshuffles.

Meanwhile, the reporting function is caught between the CFO’s cost-reduction push and the regulator’s demand for flawless data lineage. Every manual step adds latency, and the lack of a single source of truth means audit committees repeatedly question the integrity of the numbers you present. The stakes are personal: a misstep could slide you into the next round of strategic cuts.

Compounding the pressure, the regional compliance office has started requesting a consolidated risk-adjusted performance dashboard for each jurisdiction, but no one has built a repeatable process to collect, validate, and archive the required metrics. The result is endless email threads, duplicated effort, and an ever-growing backlog of unfinished reports.

What you walk away with

A unified reporting framework that meets MAS timelines without extra headcount.
A reusable data-lineage map that shows exactly where each metric originates.
A stakeholder-ready dashboard that visualises compliance health across regions.
A documented process that reduces manual reconciliation time by at least 40%.
A defensible narrative for leadership that demonstrates the function’s strategic value.

The 12 modules

Module 1. Mapping MAS Requirements

78% of banks miss the first MAS deadline because they lack a clear requirement matrix. This module walks through the exact MAS clauses that affect multi-country reporting, and translates them into a concise requirements register. The deliverable is a requirements matrix ready for immediate use.

Module 2. Designing the Data Lineage Register

During the Thursday data-validation meeting you notice three sources feeding the same KPI without clear provenance. This module shows how to capture source-to-metric links in a lineage register, so every figure can be traced back to its origin. Output: a populated data lineage register.

Module 3. Building the Consolidated Dashboard

A question often asked by the CFO: “How are we performing against MAS targets across all regions?” This module creates a single dashboard that aggregates regional compliance metrics, flags gaps, and visualises trend lines. What you ship from this module: a ready-to-present compliance dashboard.

Module 4. Standardising Intake Forms

Stakeholders in the regional compliance office demand a single source for data requests. This module builds a template intake form that aligns each request with the MAS requirement matrix. The deliverable is a completed intake form ready for distribution.

Module 5. Automating Reconciliation Checks

A tension exists between the need for speed and the need for accuracy in quarterly close. This module introduces an automated reconciliation checklist that runs nightly, catching mismatches before they reach senior leadership. Output: an automated reconciliation checklist.

Module 6. Creating the Evidence Pack

Fastest path from a messy spreadsheet archive to a regulator-ready evidence pack is a step-by-step template that formats, signs, and stores each report. The artefact is a complete evidence pack ready for the next MAS inspection.

Module 7. Stakeholder Communication Playbook

The head of compliance often asks, “What will the board care about?” This module provides a board-ready briefing template that highlights key compliance trends and actions. The deliverable is a briefing deck ready for the next board meeting.

Module 8. Running the Quarterly Review

During the quarterly review you need a repeatable agenda that covers every MAS metric without missing a beat. This module defines a review checklist, assigns owners, and sets timing expectations. The deliverable is a quarterly review checklist.

Module 9. Maintaining the Register

By module end a living register sits in your drive, reflecting the latest MAS amendments and internal data changes.

Module 10. Risk-Adjusted Performance Scoring

What you ship from this module: a risk-adjusted performance scorecard.

Module 11. Embedding the Process into Governance

Output: a governance charter.

Module 12. Continuous Improvement Loop

A question you ask yourself after each reporting cycle: “What can we improve next time?” This module defines a feedback loop that captures lessons learned, updates artefacts, and drives ongoing efficiency gains. The artefact is a continuous improvement log ready for the next cycle.

Before and after

Before

Today the reporting team cobbles together three separate Excel files, emails, and a shared folder that breaks whenever a regional manager updates a spreadsheet. Evidence lives in inboxes, audit queries surface missing line-age, and the quarterly close often slips due to manual reconciliations. Leadership questions the function’s value because there is no single source of truth.

After

After the course, a single, up-to-date reporting framework lives in a shared drive, the dashboard refreshes automatically, and the evidence pack is ready for any regulator. The team runs a repeatable quarterly review, and leadership can point to clear metrics that prove the reporting function drives compliance and strategic insight.

What happens if you do not address this

If you ignore the new MAS timeline, the next quarterly close will arrive without a compliant evidence pack, forcing the audit committee to issue a remediation notice. Your leadership will likely question the reporting function’s value, risking budget cuts in the upcoming fiscal review.

Who it is for

Linda is the head of financial and regulatory reporting at a major European bank, overseeing multi-country compliance, MAS regulations, and quarterly reporting cycles. She spends her weeks coordinating cross-border data pulls, leading steering-committee meetings, and defending reporting integrity to senior finance leadership, all while navigating tight budget constraints.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a basic introduction to financial reporting fundamentals.

How it arrives

Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.

Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week, saving an estimated 40-60 hours of internal scaffolding effort.

Why $199 is the right number

A half-day consultant would charge $2,500-$4,000 for the same scope, a generic compliance certification runs $1,200-$1,800, and building this yourself takes 60+ hours of trial and error. For $199 you get a proven, repeatable system that pays for itself in weeks.
