Use Case Background

Summary

A world-leading market infrastructure firm specialising in regulatory reporting, operating as a critical infrastructure provider across multiple global financial markets.

Key points:

  • Approved Reporting Mechanism (ARM) and Trade Repository
  • Serves regulatory reporting needs across UK, EU, and Asia-Pacific markets
  • Manages complex transaction reporting for multiple regulatory frameworks

Critical Client Needs:

  • Data Management Requirements
  • Regulatory Compliance Requirements
  • Operational and Commercial Objectives

The client sought a holistic data alignment solution that would not just resolve immediate challenges, but create a sustainable, scalable approach to compliance and operational excellence. The goal was to implement an intelligent system that could automatically monitor and verify regulatory compliance, while delivering clear, quantifiable improvements in both financial performance and operational efficiency.

Industry: Regulatory Reporting and Financial Market Infrastructure

Key Challenges

The client faced three fundamental, interconnected challenges:

Systemic Data Misalignment

Data misalignment plagued the client's systems, creating a critical gap between CRM records and operational reporting. This blind spot prevented accurate tracking of customer-product interactions, undermining the firm's ability to understand and optimise service utilisation.

Regulatory and Compliance Risks

The client confronted significant regulatory and compliance risks, including potential exposure to sanctions and Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance breaches. These risks stemmed from inadequate controls within their reporting infrastructure, creating a vulnerable operational environment that could trigger serious regulatory consequences.

Commercial Vulnerabilities

The client's commercial landscape was compromised by critical vulnerabilities that undermined their financial performance. They struggled to accurately assess product usage, which created significant potential for revenue leakage through uncontrolled service consumption. This fundamental lack of visibility fundamentally eroded their ability to understand true customer engagement and value.

From misalignment to millions: cracking the Regulatory Reporting Code

Data alignment for regulatory reporting is often seen as a cost centre - a necessary but burdensome function for financial institutions. Yet, the reality is far more nuanced. Misalignment in critical data sets doesn’t just risk compliance penalties; it can lead to significant revenue leakage and operational inefficiencies. Studies show that 50% of financial institutions struggle with data accuracy in compliance reporting, often due to fragmented systems and siloed data. However, addressing these data alignment issues can turn compliance into a strategic advantage.
