Description

A focused course, tailored for you

Regulatory Reporting Without the Restatement Risk

How reporting managers build submission-ready data chains that hold up under EBA scrutiny.

One queried cell in a COREP submission can consume three weeks of reconciliation work and expose data lineage gaps that the regulator will revisit at the next cycle. The fix is not faster patching. It is building a reporting architecture where every cell traces to a source, every transformation is logged, and every controller attestation is audit-ready before the submission window opens.

Why this course

Regulatory reporting managers at global banks operate at the intersection of front-office data, finance systems, and prudential frameworks that change faster than the reconciliation tooling can track. COREP capital adequacy submissions, FINREP IFRS overlays, BCBS 239 data lineage obligations, and RDARR attestation requirements all land on the same desk. When the EBA issues a formal query, the team discovers which part of the chain was patched rather than engineered. Restatements are not just costly. They shift the regulator's posture for the next two review cycles.

What you walk away with

Build a BCBS 239-aligned data lineage map that traces every COREP cell to its source feed and transformation log.
Design an RDARR attestation workflow that clears controller sign-off before the submission window, not after.
Produce the reconciliation memo format that closes an EBA query without a restatement.
Apply a FINREP IFRS overlay process that survives a scope change mid-quarter without breaking the consolidation chain.
Implement a CRR3 capital adequacy feed validation that catches reclassification errors at ingestion, not at sign-off.
Construct a supervisory-query response pack that turns a three-week reconciliation exercise into a two-day retrieval.

The 12 modules

Module 1. The Submission Architecture That Does Not Restate

Maps the anatomy of a COREP submission failure: where the cell-to-source chain breaks, why controller attestations arrive after the submission window, and what a lineage-complete architecture looks like before the first row is populated. You leave with a blank-canvas diagram of the target state for your specific reporting perimeter, annotated against your current data feeds.

Module 2. BCBS 239 in a Live Reporting Environment

Translates the eleven BCBS 239 risk data aggregation principles into concrete build decisions for a working reporting team: which transformations must be logged, what a data quality threshold document looks like for a supervisor, and how to evidence completeness without rebuilding the source system. Includes a gap-assessment worksheet calibrated to EBA RDARR examination practice.

Module 3. COREP Data Chain Engineering

Works through the capital adequacy templates (C 01.00 through C 08.01 for CRR3 phasing) at the data-source level. Each template column is traced to its upstream feed category, transformation rule, and tolerance band. The module produces a cell-level lineage register that doubles as the primary evidence document in a supervisory review.

Module 4. FINREP IFRS Overlay Without the Mid-Quarter Break

Addresses the specific failure mode where an IFRS 9 reclassification or a portfolio scope change mid-quarter propagates incorrectly through the FINREP consolidation layer. Covers the overlay mapping discipline, the version-control protocol for the XBRL taxonomy file, and the change-log format that a controller can sign off on the same day the scope change lands.

Module 5. RDARR Attestation Workflow Design

Builds the attestation process from the controller's desk back to the source: who attests to what, at what point in the submission cycle, and in what format. The module produces a workflow diagram and an attestation memo template that satisfies RDARR principle 7 (accuracy) and principle 8 (completeness) without requiring a controller to rebuild the supporting evidence from scratch each cycle.

Module 6. CRR3 Capital Feed Validation at Ingestion

Covers the reclassification risk introduced by CRR3 output floor and SA-CCR changes: which front-office feed fields change meaning under the new framework, how to build a validation gate at the ingestion point rather than at sign-off, and what the reconciliation break log should contain to support an EBA variance explanation. Includes a validation rule catalogue for the five highest-volume reclassification event types.

Module 7. The Reconciliation Memo That Closes a Query

Deconstructs successful EBA query responses to identify the structure that turns a formal information request into a closed item rather than a follow-up. Covers the three-section memo format (cell reference, transformation trail, source evidence), the tolerance-band explanation paragraph, and the controller attestation addendum. You leave with a template that your team can populate within two business days of receiving a query.

Module 8. Data Quality Thresholds and the Tolerance Register

Builds the tolerance register that sits between your data feeds and your submission templates: what threshold applies to which cell category, how to document an out-of-tolerance event without triggering a restatement flag, and how to present the register to a supervisory team as evidence of a controlled process rather than a managed exception list. Includes calibration examples from COREP credit risk and market risk templates.

Module 9. Supervisory Query Response Pack

Designs the full response pack structure for an EBA or PRA formal query: document index, cell-level audit trail, transformation log extract, controller attestation chain, and the covering memo that positions the submission as complete rather than corrected. The module includes a two-day retrieval protocol that assumes the query arrives with a five-business-day response window.

Module 10. Change Management for Reporting Architecture

Covers the governance process when a regulatory framework change (CRR3 phasing, FINREP taxonomy update, new EBA ITS) requires a structural change to the reporting chain. Defines the impact-assessment template, the parallel-run protocol, and the controller sign-off sequence that ensures the first live submission under the new framework does not carry a lineage gap from the transition.

Module 11. Cross-Entity Consolidation and the Intragroup Elimination Audit Trail

Addresses the specific data quality risk in group-level COREP and FINREP submissions: intragroup elimination errors that do not surface until the group controller review. Covers the elimination register format, the automated flag protocol for mismatched counterparty references, and the consolidated submission sign-off sequence that gives the group reporting manager a single evidence file for the entire consolidation chain.

Module 12. Building the Submission-Cycle Operating Model

Assembles the full cycle: pre-window data quality check, source-feed lock, transformation log freeze, controller attestation sequence, XBRL taxonomy validation, submission, and query-ready archive. The module produces a cycle calendar with named handoff points and a run-of-show document that a new team member can operate without institutional memory. This is the implementation playbook in operational form.

Before and after

Before

A Thursday EBA query triggers a multi-week reconciliation exercise because the data chain between the front-office feed and the COREP cell was patched, not engineered. Each cycle adds a new patch. Controller attestations arrive after the submission window. The next query takes longer than the last.

After

Every COREP cell traces to a source in the lineage register. Controller attestation runs on a defined workflow that closes before the submission window. An EBA query gets a structured response pack in two days. The cycle repeats without institutional memory dependency.

What happens if you do not address this

BCBS 239 and RDARR obligations are not static compliance checkboxes. Supervisory teams use data lineage gaps as indicators of broader control weakness. A second restatement in the same framework area escalates the supervisor's posture from query to formal finding. Patching individual cells is not a defence against that trajectory.

Who it is for

Regulatory Reporting Managers and Senior Analysts at large financial institutions who own the end-to-end submission process for COREP, FINREP, and related prudential returns. They manage the data chain from front-office feeds through consolidation to final submission, coordinate controller sign-off, and respond to supervisory queries. They have strong technical knowledge of reporting frameworks but limited time to rebuild architecture while running live cycles.

Who this is NOT for. Professionals looking for an introduction to regulatory reporting concepts or a summary of CRR3 capital rules. This course assumes you already own a reporting function and are dealing with data quality, lineage gaps, or restatement risk in a live environment.

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. Each module is designed for a 45-60 minute focused session. The full course runs across twelve sessions. Most participants complete it across two to three weeks while running live reporting cycles.

Why $199 is the right number

Internal training covers framework rules, not data architecture decisions. External consultants charge per engagement and leave when the project closes. This course teaches the architecture decisions that make each reporting cycle self-sufficient.

FAQ

Does this cover CRR3 specifically or earlier CRR versions?

Module 6 is built around CRR3 feed validation, including output floor and SA-CCR changes. Modules 3 and 4 cover template references that apply across CRR versions with notes on CRR3 phasing.

Is the implementation playbook generic or built for my specific reporting perimeter?

The playbook is hand-built by Gerard for the buyer's specific role and context, delivered within 24 hours of purchase alongside course access. It is not a generic framework summary.

Does the course assume a specific consolidation or reporting platform?

No. The architecture principles and templates are platform-agnostic. The reconciliation memo and attestation workflow formats work whether your team uses Axiom, Wolters Kluwer, or a proprietary system.
