Who we work with
Banking, capital markets and fintech
Most of our work today is with banks. We help them meet their regulatory reporting obligations and modernise the data, systems and processes behind them, with AI where it genuinely helps.
Banks
Regulatory reporting you can stand behind
Banks face more reporting than ever: prudential returns, statistical collections for central banks, transaction reporting and a steady flow of regulatory change. Each return has to be accurate, on time and explainable, and every figure has to trace back to its source.
Our consultants have delivered regulatory reporting and change in some of the world’s largest financial institutions. We work alongside your finance, risk, regulatory reporting and technology teams, from a quick health check to running a full reporting change programme.
- Prudential reporting for EU banks: COREP, FINREP and liquidity returns under the EBA reporting framework
- Statistical and granular reporting to central banks, including the ECB’s AnaCredit
- Risk data aggregation and lineage in line with the BCBS 239 principles
- Regulatory change: impact analysis, data mapping, testing and sign-off
How we help banks
From the returns to the data behind them
- Reporting
Regulatory reporting
Health checks, stabilising reporting cycles, platform implementation and managed reporting for prudential, statistical and transaction returns.
- Data
Data, lineage and controls
Data models, dictionaries and lineage from source systems to reported figures, with reconciliations and controls that satisfy audit and the regulator.
- Change
Regulatory change programmes
Business analysis, programme management and testing for new rules, templates and taxonomies, delivered on time.
- Finance and risk
Finance and risk change
Target operating models and system change across finance, risk and treasury, so reporting is a by-product of good data rather than a monthly scramble.
- Technology
Technology delivery
Architects, analysts and developers for reporting platforms, data warehouses and integration, on premises and in the cloud.
- AI
AI, properly governed
AI for regulatory change monitoring, data mapping, anomaly detection and commentary, within your model risk framework and your supervisors’ expectations.
Capital markets
Front-to-back change for markets businesses
Investment banks, brokers and trading firms need their trade, reference and position data to flow cleanly from the front office to finance, risk and the regulator. We help them get there.
- Transaction and trade reporting: EMIR, MiFIR and SFTR
- Reconciliation, exception management and reporting quality assurance
- Reference and market data, and the controls around it
- Front-to-back process and system change, from trade capture to settlement and reporting
Fintech
Grow fast without falling behind on regulation
Fintechs, payment firms and challenger banks scale quickly, and regulatory expectations scale with them. We help them build reporting, data and controls that keep pace with growth, and that stand up when a regulator, auditor, investor or banking partner looks closely.
- Regulatory returns and the data processes behind them
- Controls, reconciliations and management information for growing firms
- Operating model and technology change as you move from start-up to regulated scale
- Practical, governed AI that gives a small team more capacity
