A focused course, tailored for you

Regulatory Reporting That Closes Clean

Build COREP, FINREP, and LCR submissions that survive regulator scrutiny without a last-minute restatement cycle.

The regulator query that lands after a filed COREP submission is not a random event. It traces back to a documented gap between source-system output and reporting template logic that was never written down when the methodology last changed. This course closes that gap.

Why this course

Regulatory reporting specialists at large European banks submit dozens of regulatory templates each quarter: COREP, FINREP, LCR, NSFR, ALMM, AnaCredit, MMSR, EMIR, MiFID II. Each template has its own validation rules, its own data lineage expectation, its own regulator preference for how the methodology note is written. The job requires mastering all of them while absorbing CRR3 implementation changes, responding to ad hoc ECB queries, and reconciling figures across entities in multiple booking centres. What fails consistently is not effort. It is the absence of a documented source-to-report trail that can answer a regulator query in hours rather than days. This course teaches you to build that trail from the ground up.

What you walk away with

Map the complete source-to-report data lineage for a COREP or FINREP template so any gap is visible before submission.
Write a methodology note that answers the regulator's most common follow-up questions without a back-and-forth cycle.
Build a CRR3 impact register that links each regulatory change to the affected reporting line and the updated calculation logic.
Produce a cross-entity consolidation pack that survives a Group Audit review without rework.
Design a validation and reconciliation checklist that catches the errors regulators flag most often, before they see the data.
Deliver a complete submission audit trail that your compliance officer can sign off on in under 30 minutes.

The 12 modules

Module 1. The Regulatory Reporting Landscape for Large European Banks

Maps the full set of obligations a Senior Specialist is accountable for: COREP Own Funds, Leverage Ratio, LCR, NSFR, ALMM, FINREP IFRS, AnaCredit, MMSR, EMIR refit, MiFID II transaction reporting. Establishes where each template sits in the prudential versus statistical reporting hierarchy. Clarifies the ECB, EBA, and national competent authority relationship so you know which regulator owns which query.

Module 2. Source-to-Report Data Lineage: Building the Documented Trail

Teaches you to trace every reported figure back to the authoritative source system, through any transformation logic, to the template cell. Covers the minimum lineage documentation a regulator expects: data source, extraction timestamp, transformation rule, approval sign-off. Includes a worked example using a COREP C 02.00 Own Funds template to show how gaps become visible before submission rather than after a query.

Module 3. COREP Template Discipline: C 01 Through C 34

Walks the high-failure COREP templates in detail: C 01.00 (Own Funds), C 02.00 (Capital Requirements), C 07.00 (Credit Risk SA), C 08.01 (IRB), C 40.00 (LCR), C 47.00 (NSFR). For each: the data input structure, the validation rules embedded in XBRL taxonomy, the cross-template consistency checks EBA publishes, and the calculation note your methodology file must contain.

Module 4. FINREP IFRS Reporting: Where Accounting Meets Prudential

FINREP requires you to map IFRS balance sheet and P&L classifications into EBA's reporting taxonomy, then maintain consistency with COREP inputs. This module covers the F 01.01 through F 46.00 template hierarchy, the stage allocation logic under IFRS 9, the reclassification event documentation for F 05.01, and the reconciliation pack that bridges your FINREP total exposures to the COREP credit risk inputs.

Module 5. LCR and NSFR: Liquidity Reporting Under Pressure

LCR and NSFR submissions trigger the most regulator queries after COREP Own Funds. This module teaches the C 40.00 inflow and outflow haircut logic, the HQLA eligibility documentation, the C 52.00 NSFR stable funding classification, and the overnight recalculation workflow that liquidity teams use to close a query the same business day it arrives. Includes a cash flow bucketing reconciliation template.

Module 6. CRR3 and Basel IV Impact Mapping

CRR3 introduces the Output Floor, revisions to SA-CCR, updated IRB constraints, and new CVA framework requirements across submission cycles starting this year. This module builds an impact register that links each CRR3 provision to the affected COREP template, the reporting line, the calculation methodology that must change, and the parallel run period documentation your regulator will ask for during the transition period.

Module 7. Methodology Notes That Close Regulator Queries

A methodology note written reactively after a query costs three days. One written proactively at submission costs 90 minutes and prevents the query. This module covers the structure regulators expect: scope, data sources, calculation methodology, known limitations, prior period changes, and management approval. Includes worked examples for LCR exceptional treatment claims and IRB model override documentation under EBA GL on PD and LGD estimation.

Module 8. Cross-Entity Consolidation for Multi-Booking Centre Groups

Large European banks report COREP on a solo, sub-consolidated, and fully consolidated basis. Inter-entity eliminations, intragroup exposures, and booking centre currency translation each introduce reconciliation risk. This module teaches the entity scoping document, the consolidation perimeter note, the intragroup netting pack, and the reconciliation file that Group Audit reviews before the consolidated submission is filed.

Module 9. AnaCredit and MMSR: Statistical Reporting Discipline

AnaCredit requires loan-by-loan credit data submission to the ECB with 97 attributes per instrument. MMSR requires trade-by-trade money market transaction reporting with same-day T+0 deadlines. This module covers the AnaCredit data model, the most common attribute-level errors in ECB quality feedback reports, the MMSR trade type classification taxonomy, and the reconciliation between MMSR submissions and balance sheet positions.

Module 10. Validation and Pre-Submission Quality Checks

EBA's XBRL taxonomy embeds several hundred validation rules. Your internal data team catches some before the DPM upload, regulators catch the rest after. This module builds a pre-submission quality checklist covering EBA blocking and non-blocking validations, cross-template ratio consistency checks, prior-period movement thresholds, and the sign-off workflow that assigns accountability for each validation failure before the return is filed.

Module 11. Responding to Regulator Queries Without a Fire Drill

Most regulatory queries arrive with a 5-10 business day response window. The banks that answer in two days have a response pack template and a data trail that was built at submission time. This module covers query triage, the response pack structure (question, data extract, methodology note, remediation timeline), how to escalate queries that require model or calculation changes, and the internal sign-off chain that prevents response letters from becoming liability documents.

Module 12. Building the Submission Audit Trail Your Compliance Officer Signs

The final module assembles everything into a submission audit trail: lineage pack, methodology file, validation log, cross-entity reconciliation, regulator correspondence index, and the one-page certification your compliance officer reviews before signature. Covers version control for methodology documents, the archival timeline EBA and national regulators require, and the handover documentation when a team member rotates off the reporting cycle.

How this addresses your situation

Specific modules that map to what you said you are dealing with.

Regulator query arrives on a filed submission: Modules 2, 7, 11 give you the lineage trail and the response pack to close it fast.

CRR3 transition is underway and you need to update your methodology documentation: Module 6 builds the impact register and parallel run file.

Cross-entity consolidation is triggering reconciliation errors before submission: Module 8 gives you the entity scoping document and intragroup netting pack.

AnaCredit ECB feedback report flagged attribute errors: Module 9 walks the data model and the most common error patterns in ECB quality feedback.

Before and after

Before

A regulator query arrives after submission. You spend three days tracing the figure back through three systems, finding the methodology note was never updated after a model change, and writing a response from scratch. The process repeats next quarter.

After

Your source-to-report lineage is documented at submission time. Your methodology note answers the questions regulators ask before they ask them. When a query does arrive, your response pack is assembled in hours, not days, and the next submission closes without a follow-up.

What happens if you do not address this

Regulatory reporting errors that reach the regulator without a documented methodology trail escalate from queries to formal findings. Under CRR Article 430, persistent data quality failures can trigger supervisory measures. The cost is not just time. It is the compliance officer's confidence in your function and the audit committee's view of your controls.

Who it is for

You are a Senior Specialist or Manager in the Regulatory Reporting function of a large European bank or investment firm. You produce prudential and statistical regulatory submissions under CRR, EMIR, MiFID II, or MMSR reporting obligations. You manage the data quality and reconciliation cycle, own the methodology documentation, and field regulator queries on submitted returns. You want to produce submissions that close clean, without restatement, and without a three-day fire drill when a query lands.

Who this is NOT for. Treasury generalists who touch reporting occasionally. Audit or risk functions who review submissions rather than build them. Operations staff who feed source data but do not own the reporting output.

How it arrives

Text-based course in the Art of Service learning environment, plus downloadable templates and worked examples for every module, plus the hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.

Time investment. 12 modules designed to be completed in two to three focused working sessions. Each module is self-contained. Most specialists complete the full course over a reporting cycle gap week.

Why $199 is the right number

EBA publishes technical standards and Q&A documents. They tell you what to report, not how to build a submission process that closes clean. Internal training at large banks covers the bank's specific systems. This course covers the discipline that travels with you across employers, teams, and regulatory changes.

FAQ

Does this cover CRR3 specifically?

Yes. Module 6 is dedicated to CRR3 and Basel IV impact mapping, including the Output Floor, updated SA-CCR, and revised CVA framework. The module is structured as an impact register you can maintain as further EBA technical standards are published.

Is this relevant if our bank reports on a sub-consolidated basis only?

Yes. Module 8 covers solo, sub-consolidated, and fully consolidated reporting perimeters. The consolidation documentation templates scale to any scope.

How is the implementation playbook tailored to my role?

The playbook is hand-built by Gerard Blokdijk after purchase, based on your role, the regulatory frameworks most relevant to your function, and the submission cycle your team operates under. It is not a generic template.

Can I access the modules after completing them?

Yes. Access to all 12 modules and all downloadable templates is permanent from the moment your account is provisioned.
